Ohhhhhhh my goodness! This might be my favorite new project! You've probably seen this or a similar Banyan Tree project in Dynamic Art Projects for Children, or maybe another blog. But I'm going to post it anyway because it is just that fabulous! Banyan trees grow primarily in India, though you can find some in Florida as well. From its branches grow aerial roots, which stretch downward and plant themselves back into the ground. They're amazing to look at! source source My fifth graders worked with oil pastels on their Wayne Thiebaud-inspired cakes project and really loved them. I think I significantly facilitated the sale of oil pastels at the local arts and crafts stores with that project. This project upped the oil pastel ante, as kiddos had to use their previous experience with the medium and further their technique in the form of blending colors. To begin, I walked the students through the tree-drawing process. Despite giving each class essentially the same spiel, every tree was very different. I love that about art, don't you? After drawing, kiddos painted their tree trunks and branches with black tempera paint. All that jazz took at least one full 45-minute class; some kiddos had to finish painting at the start of the next class. As far as coloring goes, most of my fifth graders used up two classes' worth of time (90 minutes total) to color. Every section had to include two analogous or like colors blended together. Some students went the random route, while others chose a specific color scheme or order. For the bottoms of the artwork, more colors could be used. Some students 'planted' their tree in water, which allowed for a reflection. I highly recommend using the reflective format, as the results are totally stunning! (The photos do NOT do these projects any justice. The vibrancy of the colors will knock your socks off in person!) This sweet kiddo lacks a lot of fine motor skills... yet this project was her JAM! This one is nicer than my example... it's humbling to be outdone by an 11-year-old! I'll do this project again and again--the kids loved it, they learned a lot, and WOW, are these babies gorgeous! Also, two nights ago I watched "Life of Pi," and there's a Banyan tree in one scene! I'm 28 years old and that alone made me so excited that I accidentally woke up the dog... and my husband. Whoops.

In a recent post, I shared with you an easier way to create the colorful arrows in Denyse Schmidt's new pattern, Point me.... If you recall, I changed the construction after I had already cut out all those pesky triangles....sooooo..... here is an even easier way to put those arrows together {make those tiny HST's} if you have not already cut into your fabric. To begin you will need to cut two strips of fabric.... one white and one patterned fabric....cut each strip 4.25 inches wide by WOF. Then sub-cut the strips into 4.25 inch squares.... Place the two squares right sides facing and stitch, using a quarter inch seam allowance, all around the outside of the square.... Now cut the square once on the diagonal.... Take each half and cut again.... By stitching around the perimeter of the square, you have stitched the long straight edge of the triangle...... Press open with seams toward the darker fabric.... I have finished the quilt and I am now working on the pillow sham. I found this method is easier, faster and with better results. Maybe it is just me, but if you plan on making this quilt - you might want to give this method a try. After you have your HST's....stitch them together keeping the patterned fabric the upper left side and the solid fabric on the lower right. Because the strips are pieced together on the diagonal, each strip is one square less than the neighboring strip... And for the pillow a single solid triangle is added to the top of each strip... When stitching the strips together, I have found that the bias actually works in your favor. You can more easily get those seams{points} to fit together perfectly with a little stretch in your fabric strip.... I hope this helps!!! Well.....I have a few more strips to put together for this one....so stay tuned.... Happy Tuesday! mary
