Christmas trees in the snow


By students of grade 2

You need:
  1. large drawing sheets 
  2. liquid watercolour green and red 
  3. oilpastel crayons 
  4. brushes
Draw a wavy line, the ground. Draw several christmas trees. Simple triangles are okay, this lesson is about overlap - not all the trees next to each other. Decorate the trees with balls and garlands and draw presents under the trees. Colour with oil pastels. Use white oilpastel for snowflakes.
Paint with liquid watercolor, the ground has to stay white.
