Drawing a Tree from roots to canopy

In this workshop students will explore the book Tree, written by Claire Saxby and illustrated by Jess Racklyeft.

We will learn more about the Mountain Ash and their importance to the drinking water of Melbourne, then draw together a huge tree from roots to canopy, exploring the life that lives on the tree along the way. We will draw worms, lyrebirds, wombats, birds and create a three panel artwork.
