Check out the collaborative mural based on Gustav Klimt's "The Tree of Life" by the Youth Desk!

Artist Emma Turner took Klimt's "Tree of Life" and made a simple pencil outline of his work on white poster board. The outline was cut into 30 squares.

At February's Open Art Studio, artists from 2 years old to adult chose squares, outlined the pencil work, and created their own colorful take on the squares. Since the squares were just a small part of the work, our artists had no idea what the original work looked like. Each square has the original foundation, but is a new take on Klimt's work.

If you look carefully, you can see the curls of the tree and some original features, but this mural is an interesting new artistic creation.
