Winter Snowmen Paintings

In Sights and Sounds of the Seasons we celebrated the winter snow by building our own indoor snowmen.  Rather than drawing and painting a traditional 3 ball snowman, we took on the challenge of painting closeup snowman in a profile view. 

 First:  The snowman was drawn with black oil pastels making sure it was cropped of either side of the blue paper.  Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Buttons, and Arms came next.  Students designed their own hats and scarves to add to their snowmen. 

Second: Use temperas to paint everything on the snowman that wasn't white (hats, eyes, scarves....Carrots!) 

Third: Next white painted was added to the snowman.  Now it's time to let it snow by painting fluffy snowflakes.    

Last : We retraced our black lines to ensure our snowmans don't get lost in the winter blizzard.

Enjoy!
