Winter Snow Globes – Painted Paper Art

Holiday Trees are so much fun to create during the holiday season! Our Christmas Tree Art Project is cubism-style art that's gorgeous and surprisingly easy to make, perfect for DIY Christmas gifts!

I showed my 4th graders how to draw the simple shapes that make up the nutcrackers. Then I asked them to decorate the nutcrackers they drew by adding their own details. We talked about the element of design, value and how it makes things in art work look "real". I showed them techniques that they could use with oil pastels to create value in their art work.

Complete with 4 different Kandinsky Christmas Tree Circle Art templates, this fun and simple circle art project is great for kids of all ages from preschoolers and kinders, to the biggest of Arty Crafty Kids.

Time required (requires 1 day of dry time in between): Day 1 - 40 minutes Day 2 - 30 minutes Materials Day 1: White paper Pre-print the ornament shapes OR use tracers Sharpie Markers Tin foil (one paper sized sheet per student) Spray bottle with water Materials

Kids will love creating this colorful Christmas tree art project with a mixed media approach. Fun & easy techniques make this a great holiday art activity!
