Snowy Holiday Trees

Here's the snowy tree lesson I've shown before.  This time, instead of painting the snow, we simply added the snow with the pastels.  The painted snow is much more fun for the students, but we didn't have time this year. The steps to this lesson are here in this post from last year.

Here are the steps to this lesson.

Snowy Trees

"Snowy Trees" Art Project

Materials needed: black paper ( mine is 9x12"), oval template, white chalk, tissue, white paint (tempera or acrylic), comb

Place template on black paper and use the side of the chalk, pushing from the template off the side onto black paper.

Use tissue to gently smear the chalk.

Lift off template and draw a wavy line for the snow.

Color in the snow.

Make dotted lines for tree trunks.

Draw branches.

Place picture in box to protect the area from paint splatters. (This step can also be done on a large piece of butcher paper.)

Dip comb into paint, and splatter paint by rubbing thumb against the comb as shown in picture at the top.

All Done!!
