This was a two day project that I managed to squeeze into the last week of school before Christmas vacation. I originally saw a version of this project somewhere online, but I can't remember where. If it's your lesson- please leave a comment so I can credit you!
The first class, students created a watercolour background using liquid watercolours and salt. This creates a frosty pattern effect.
Next class, students cut out a snowflake (this gets harder and harder each year with students I find). They glued this onto their background along with a winter themed quite they chose.
I mounted them onto larger blue paper and they created designs
in the border using a paint pen.
Grade 4/5 results!
I love your blog. I saw the plate weaving you posted on Facebook. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anonymous. I did not post that photo on Facebook- I saw it there myself today! I don't share on Facebook. I'm just glad they gave me credit!
