The Linden Tree
by Genevieve, Anthea and Lucy
We created an artwork by using paper, paint and a canvas. On the leaves we wrote the main story points, we have exactly 28 story points on a printed linden tree. We noticed the writing was Italian and the birds on top represent the people and their long and miserable journey and the one odd bird out which is gold, which represents Peter.
After reading the ‘Treasure Box’ , we decided to take an artistic approach. During our journey, we experienced some difficulties but were pleased with our end result as we improvised a lot. Our original design was simple as it was supposed to capture the beauty of the linden tree. As we got further into our journey, everything was well, until we found out, that the leaves we had organised for the linden tree were unable to be written on. So we decided to print some leaves out and write on them to give them the real look. Then we needed to figure out how to sketch the detailed linden tree. Mistaken for scrap paper, our linden was thrown away. So instead of sketching the detailed tree, we settled on printing the original picture from the actual book. We attached a few birds to symbolize freedom and added more trees coloured in gold. And we also printed out an Italian paper featuring the experience of World War 2 and drew a cottage onto it. So in conclusion, our simple artistic approach, turned into a complex and what we think is a beautiful collage.
