In preschool, students explored winter art by learning how to draw trees using brown oil pastels on construction paper. They practiced making strong lines for trunks and branches, discovering how artists can use simple shapes to create familiar objects. This activity helped build fine motor skills while encouraging creativity and confidence in drawing.
Next, children added white tempera paint to their artwork to create the look of falling snow and snowy landscapes. They experimented with dabbing and brushing techniques, watching how the paint stood out against the darker paper. This step sparked excitement as students transformed their drawings into winter scenes, reinforcing the idea that art can change and grow in layers.
Finally, students used crayons to add colorful details to their pictures, such as decorations, animals, or backgrounds. This allowed each child to personalize their artwork and make unique choices about color and design. The finished winter landscapes beautifully showcased the children’s creativity, effort, and growing artistic skills.
