In Art class, first graders read the book, Dream Snow by Eric Carle. Students created art like Carle by painting snow over their snowmen on a transparency like Carle did in his book. Students learned how Carle creates his art and also learned the difference between authors and illustrators.
I do this lesson every year and it always turns out so cute!
So beautiful! I need to check out this book. How many sessions did this lesson take?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! Can't believe I haven't heard of Dream Snow. Thanks for the great post. I'll have to try this!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute- I actually have this book but never thought of this type of art project. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteRina, They took 2 art class, one hour each class!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I plan on trying them very soon with my Kindergartners! Is there a secret trick to getting the kids to draw the circles nice and large so that the snowmen don't end up too small?
