This thermoform shows us two pictures of the same tree - one in summer and one in winter. Let's begin with the shape on the left. Feel all over it to get a general impression - it's a big old tree covered in leaves. Find the roots right at the bottom of the tree where they stick into the ground. The roots spread out in different directions to hold the tree firmly in the ground and to find food and water in the earth for the tree to grow. Now, from the roots, follow the wavy lines upwards and you'll find the canopy of leaves. The wavy lines show how rough the bark of the tree is on the tree trunk.
