Page 18 The Educational Screen Trees in Winter—In Hand Made Lantern Slides By ANN GALE THE ARCHITECTURE of trees in winter is something that children in sixth, and seventh grades can see and appreciate. They can recognize even that the branching system of each tree down to the smallest twig keeps the same angle of branching throughout. These six slides will be helpful in pointing out distinctly diflFerent tree shapes and branching patterns before any out- door excursions are taken. (1) A maple tree with its oval sliape, straight trunk which branches oflf at the top; and its acute angle of Art Department, Lindblom High School, Chicago branching. (2) An Elm tree with its fan-shaped top and gracefully shaped branches. (3) An Oak with its irregu- lar shape, and its strongly curved angle of branching. (4) An Apple tree in a semi-circular shape, with its long horizontal branches. (S) A Pear tree with its tall center branches, and the slightly spreading lower branches. (6) A Lombardy poplar, tall and slender, with its straight vertical branches. Keystone crayons may be used to make the trees stand out against the background. The sim- plest type of hand- made slide is iiuide by drawing or tracing on finely fin- ished etched glass with 0r dinar y medium lead pencil. Col- or, by spe- cial crayons or inks, en- hances the slides great- ly. Fine ef- fects are ob- tained b^i b lending lifith cray- ons. About one - third inch margin should be left all around the slide. The slide is read- ily cleaned with soap or washing powder to receive a new pic- ture.
