Ever take a walk through the woods on a brisk snowy day? This snowman decided to take a stroll through a birch forest just as the sun was beginning to set and twilight was emerging from between the trees.
Students created this whimsical piece by painting their background with glitter water color paints and added salt to create a crystallized effect. We scraped black paint with tagboard onto paper to create the birch tree effect. Once trees were dry, they were cut, glued onto a snowy hill, and shadows were added with pencil.
Our snowman was embellished with chalk pastels and care was taken to create highlights on the same side of the snowman as the light source. Once completed, students finalized their work with snowflakes and glitter snow.
