Winter is coming!

 Just have a few short days until winter break!






 Let's celebrate the upcoming season by making 
some frosty pictures of our own!

What are some activities Peter did on the snowy day?
What will you do on a snowy day? 

1. On a 9x12 white paper draw a curved line for the snowy ground in white oil pastel.  Color the ground completely. Add snowflakes to the sky in white.
2. Imagine what you will do on a snowy day, and with colored oil pastels, draw you doing that activity.

Is there anything else we could use when we get the inspiration to make a snowman?

'Snowballs' is a book that might give us some ideas.

Can you make your own collage snowman?

Can you use your imagination and give your snowy friend a personality and a name?

My dream house has bricks and rectangle windows. I drew my house like I remember my house is.


Architects are important, they design the buildings we live and work in.

Today we are going to make Architect Drawings by looking at a building closely and drawing what we see. Maybe you will be surprised by the things you notice when you look closely!
