Christmas tree in strips
Made by a student of 11 years old
You need:- white drawing sheet A4 size
- black construction paper A4 size
- tempera paint
- brush
- advertising leaflet with Christmas decorations or aluminum foil or scrapbooking paper
- glue
- glitter stars
- small piece of brown paper
Tear a trunk out of brown paper. Tear strips of the painted sheet that are about the same width. Place the paper strips on a black sheet in the form of a Christmas tree; the strips have to become slightly shorter. Put the trunk below the bottom strip and paste it. Paste the green strips, so that the trunk disappears partly under the lower strip.
Cut balls and a peak out of aluminium foil or advertising leaflets. You can also use scrapbooking paper. Paste balls and peak on the tree. Cut squares and rectangles (presents!) of coloured paper and paste them under the tree. Paste glitter stars around the tree.vrijdag 16 december 2016

Colourful Christmas trees
- two drawing sheets A4 size
- watercolour paint
- brushes
- jar with water
- tissue paper
- scissors
- glue
- ruler
- pencil

Choose three colours of tissue paper. Fold the sheets several times and cut triangles and squares. Take a sheet of drawing paper and make it wet with a brush and water. Lay the pieces of tissue paper on this wet sheet. If the tissue paper is not wet enough, it won't bleed. Then make it wet again with a brush with water. Fill the sheet with these tissue paper parts and leave it to dry. Remove the pieces of tissue paper from the sheet when it is completely dry. The sheet will look like this:
Cut long triangles from the sheet that was coloured with tissue paper. You may use the schedule above (based on A4 size sheet of 21 by 29 cm - half cm will remain on both sides then). You can cut a piece from the bottom of the triangles if you want trees of various heights. Paste these three trees with overlap on the water paint background. Don't paste the trees all at the same height, so you get depth. Cut some smaller triangles from the left overs if you want more trees.
Outline the trees with silver or gold marker. Draw a simple branch structure. Draw the strains with brown pencil or use the metallic pins. Draw snowflakes around and on the trees with a white (correction) marker or use chips from the punch. rond en op de bomen. Paste the artwork on a coloured background. Sprinkle some glitter on the forest floor.

Doodling together - group mural
You need:
- drawing sheets A1 size
- tape
- tempera paint
- brushes
Stick some large sheets together with tape and lay them on a group tables of equal height.
Groups of four students at the same time draw little forms or doodles on this sheet using black tempera. The drawings should not touch each other. When all doodles are finished, have a couple of kids connect them by straight black lines.
Step 2
Paint all surfaces and doodles with tempera. Each student chooses a colour and paints some surfaces or doodles. Be sure to avoid surfaces with the same colour next to each other.
This lesson can be done in every grade by varying subject or colours: choose only primary colours and straight forms to create a Mondrian version.
Or choose a theme for the doodles, like Christmas, food or sports.
Great success in which variation whatsoever is guaranteed!
