Snowy Cabin

Snowy Cabin in the Woods-KidzArt at Lesson at Hanover Elementary

With 12-14" inches of snow falling this past weekend in Minnesota, we had the perfect picture for our students to draw this week at Hanover Elementary. 

 Here is the example the students learned to draw from and the Keywords we looked at. Students learned how to draw snow using countor lines and then to just add a little bit of shading to give it a more realistic look.  But most of the snow was left white and then at the end students added details with glitter paint and metallic markers.

Students had great ideas for ways to make their picture unqiue and their own.  Some students changed colors, added animals, or added a lake (something that we see all over in the land of 10,000 lakes).  At KidzArt we encourage students to brainstorm ways to make their picture different as they are the artist.  But if they want to copy the example that is ok too!

 

We have all new classes coming up at Hanover Elementary. Visit Buffalo-Hanover-Montrose Community Education for information and registration for KidzArt classes.

 

Winter Wonderland Workshops

The first three weeks of December are always a great time for KidzArt Minnesota!  We are excited about the start of our holiday/winter workshops throughout schools in the NW Metro area.  Today at St. Michael Catholic School in St. Michael, MN we drew a Gingerbread house!  This is a favorite picture among KidzArt staff to draw with students.  There are so many ways for students to make this drawing their own with new designs, patterns, and different color choices. 

We looked at the example picture for inspiration.  Then students followed along as the instructor showed them how to complete the drawing.


Works in progress. After drawing the outline students added details and colored their pictures.









Look at how wonderfully different each drawing is even though everyone started out looking at the same drawing.
