Painterly daylight composition: a grove of five painterly deep-indigo silhouette trees at varied distances and sizes — a large foreground tree on the left framing the composition, a sun-side mid-tree, and three smaller trees receding into the haze on the right. A warm amber rising sun on the left side back-lights the grove. The visual metaphor for curriculum as a body of related disciplines.
