Watercolor snowflakes
This is another great idea I found on Pinterest. It is from http://www.funathomewithkids.com/2014/11/winter-watercolor-resist-art-with-free.html
I started the lesson by showing examples of real snowflakes and a short three minute video on YouTube about snowflakes. There are several but I chose the one "Frozen, Snowflake Song".
I then instructed students on how to make snowflakes by drawing the lines and adding arrows to each line. We drew these all around our 12" x 9" multi media paper with a pencil. The next step was to trace over the lines with a white oil pastel.
You can use white crayons as well.
Students then painted over their papers with liquid watercolors.
The last step was to sprinkle salt over the painting.
I had some of my classes make one big snowflake and other classes make five small snowflakes. I'm not sure which ones I like the best.
