This is a collection of tree images from Art History. I wanted to show the students a wide variety so they would see how many different ways there are to represent the same object.

I picked up this lesson idea at a workshop on adapting the visual arts for special needs students. The man who led the workshop used it with special needs high school students, and I used it with my elementary students who receive OT services for motor control, hand deformations, etc. I put together a document to show the steps in pictures as well as words.
