Sky Tree: Seeing Science Through
Art by Candace Christiansen
Science Through Art
A tree stands on a hill by a river. As the sky changes, so does the tree, its
branches filling with clouds, stars, snow, birds, mists, and the golden
spring sun. One tree can mean many things.
Thomas Lockers lyrical text records the changes in the trees world just as
simply as a child might observe them, and his magnificent paintings
crystallize the natural phenomena that embellish the tree on each page.
Questions at the bottom of each page lead to a unique discussion in the
back of the book, where art and science are intertwined, and further depth
is added to the wonder of Sky Tree.
Personal Review: Sky Tree: Seeing Science Through Art by
Candace Christiansen
Sky Tree shows how a tree growing on a hill by a river changes through all
four seasons. Locker's oil paintings are beautiful and accurate. The text
records the changes the tree experiences in simple language. There are
questions at the bottom of each page where text appears that provoke
discussion. At the end of the book, Locker gives a scientific explanation of
each of the paintings: the summer tree, the change tree, the autumn tree,
etc. This is a great book to use for teaching about the world of nature.
