Materials<br />
✓✓ reference pictures of boab trees<br />
✓✓ cartridge paper<br />
✓✓ chalk pastels<br />
✓✓ spray fixative<br />
LESSON<br />
1. Discuss and look at images of boab trees, in particular their shape, and the landscape they<br />
grow in.<br />
2. On A4 paper, students use chalk pastels to create their own boab tree landscape:<br />
(a) Begin by drawing a horizon line midway down the page. Colour the ground using a<br />
combination of brown, ochre and orange. Use fingers to blend the colours together.<br />
(b) Blend light and dark blue in the sky in the same way. Use different fingers so that<br />
the brown does not smudge into the blue. (Students may need to wash their hands<br />
frequently to prevent smudging.)<br />
(c) Draw some boab trees in the soil, using reference material to draw their shape correctly.<br />
(d) Use white chalk pastel to highlight some areas in the trunk and branches.<br />
3. Spray with fixative to set.<br />
