TASK 1: Tree Species

TASK 1: Tree Species

Above are 10 thumbnail sketches of different ways you could graphically represent a tree. I have used collage elements such as green tissue paper and cotton wool, as well as acrylic paint, and a variety of different patterns and pen thickness to all represent the different styles that can be used to represent a tree. 
1 example of a tree species, represented in a graphic style.

The concepts of a tree: 

  • Ecology
  • Environmental 
  • Vegetation 
  • Habitat
  • Money 
  • Nature
  • Organic/Biological 
  • Resource 
  • Lungs 
  • Lightbulb 

My concept of a tree: A cog
Without a cog everything would stop working - 02, Paper, Timber all produced from trees.


Above I have represented the seasons through the different elements that appear on a tree during different times of the year. 
Another graphic example of how to represent a species of tree. 

Site Plan of a section of my site. I have chosen this area in particular as its an area with a highly populated number of trees.
