Quote Paintings

This is a quote painting project I do with my high school mixed class- Grade 10-12 students. They choose a favourite or meaningful quite, then find a way to create it using paint of their choice.

See my previous post on this project HERE.

I encouraged students to choose their cultural languages- this time I got quotes in Hungarian, Turkish and Russian!

Watercolour is always a super popular paint choice in my classes.

English Village in the Snow Drawing

This is a wonderfully magic winter lesson I found on the Painted Paper website.

She gives all the steps and lots of great visuals to help students.

I altered my lesson by using white coloured pencils with touches of white tempera at the end.

I taught this to a class of Grade 4 - 6 students. Loved how they turned out and so many skills taught!

 

Van Gogh Starry Night Snowglobes

 

Here's a lovely Van Gogh inspired winter art lesson from the fabulous Painted Paper. 

I pre-traced a large circle on heavy white 9 x 12" paper.  Grade 4-6 students looked at Van Gogh's "Starry Night" painting and drew their own village. They added swirls in the sky to mimic his style. 

They also drew their own base for the snow globe.

Then they outlined everything with a fine tip Sharpie.

And coloured in their village using coloured pencils.

They painted their sky using watercolours. 

We added gold glitter to the moon and stars for some holiday razzle dazzle!

Finally, they cut out their snow globe and glued it onto blue construction paper. 

Some finished artworks!
