Unit Overview: Students designed snowglobes using video instruction in order to create a personalized snowglobe containing the student's favorite winter objects. It's that time of the year! We are trying to convince snow to come our way (Mother Nature got a hot-flash and changed all the snow that was predicted to hit into rain. Boo.) by drawing and painting snowglobes. We also did a little winter magic because . . . well, why not?
I found an amazing snowglobe drawing lesson from Art for Kids Hub on Youtube. (Click here for the link) Follow the video, but don't color! The way I instructed the kids to color was by using oil pastels for the interior design of their snowglobe. They did not color around or the "air" inside their snowglobe. Then, we did a little winter magic by taking a white crayon and using texture plates to create "invisible texture". We revealed the texture by later painting our pictures using blue watercolor. Ta-da! Magic! The texture is revealed. The kids loved this little magic trick. It helped them to understand that even though they couldn't see the marks they had made, they were still there. A good life lesson, and art lesson. I love it when philosophy makes an appearance in my projects with kids.
