For this project, students painted sunset stripes and then created their penguins and icebergs with construction paper. Finally, adding felt hats, mittens and scarves gave this project a collage look.
“I think this is my favorite project we’ve ever done! The kids got so creative and they all turned out adorable.”-Sarah G.

2. Van Gogh Inspired Snowmen

3. Lovey Dovey Gnomes
Have your students make these cute love gnomes to decorate the hallway near Valentine’s Day. It would also be a great project to review 2D shapes!

- First step: draw the umbrella (on water color paper if available). Use black sharpie to trace lines and crayons for resist art. Cut it out.
- Second step:Cut a yellow ‘triangle’ with rounded corners from construction paper. Then, cut out two rectangles and a circle out of black construction paper. (Cut the circle in half…instant math talk!)
- Third step: Background is wet on wet watercolor crayon resist. Took us a wile, but I would do it again!”-LaDonna P.
