January and February
bring snow projects galore.
Since we hardly ever see snow here
in the deep, deep South
my art students
welcome
the chance to create
snowmen and snowflakes.
Most have never actually seen or touched snow and
some have no idea what a snowflake looks like.
Last week my K-2 art students
had a ball creating
snowflakes.
We used many different items...
 | |
| We discussed SYMMETRY, but we also discussed ARTISTS' CHOICE | ...reason some have 6, 8 or more sides |
 |
| Come on now...stretch your snowflake imagination. |
we junk it up most of the time in my art classes.
Guess you could say these are
Southern Snowflakes Y'all!
Best, Vicki
Looks like a veritable snow storm going on! You probably have already done paper cutting to make snowflakes, but if you do loads of little ones and thread them on to white cotton sewing thread then hang them up in the window - you have a snow storm that wafts when someone walks by or if a slight breeze catches them - good way to keep kids occupied and fun to watch :)
ReplyDeleteI love the snowflake idea! A plan to keep in mind! I am planning to do paper cutting next week so we'll see how it all unfolds. We may use coffee filters for a frilly effect. Enjoy your week!!
DeleteThe straws are so cool. I fear we will not see any snow and I am tired of grey and would be happy for a ray of sun.
ReplyDeleteI will happily send you some of the snow we get here in the Great White North (Canada)! lol! Seriously, it snowed yesterday (yes, in May!!!)
ReplyDeleteAll joking aside, these are great creative experiments- I love the variety of materials. Thanks for sharing!
