Not to know what this is? (Child's artwork)

Been sent the link to Christmas artwork to order cards from school. DS doesn't know what is is either, btw. I showed him the picture on the screen and he confirmed it was his handiwork, but when I asked what it was he said 'I dunno. Not Christmas'. Which just about sums it up... Just... why brown?!

It's a dead Christmas tree being felled. An expression of the dire state of the world environment.

Looks volcanic to me, with added ash. A Christmas volcano perhaps.

Jamiefraserskilt · 17/10/2018 20:03

Christmas trees but ran out of green?
Cake?
Christmas pud?
New Dali-ask talent?

Daddy Volcano shagging Mummy Volcano in a snowstorm?

Robins

Its a representation of the despondent souls, when faced with the commercialism of 'Christmas'.

Obviously. Xmas Grin

Robins is a good shout. His class is called Robins. That would explain the colour scheme, though not the shape... his lack of artistic ability would explain the shape.

I like the volcano idea. Or that it's the souls of dead Christmas trees.

I can't seriously send it out as a Christmas card though, can I?!
