We used Construction paper crayons on Black paper. Can I just say how much I LOVE USING CONSTRUCTION PAPER CRAYONS AND SO DO THE STUDENTS!
We used 11" by 17" black paper.
With pencil : Drew 3 hills.. a snowman ( on the side where the big brown "tree", "building", "vines" etc is )
I showed them 3 different kind of pine or evergreen trees.. They has to add 3 trees. We talked about how trees in the distance would be smaller, et.
They then added 1-2 "oak" trees without leaves because it is winter.
We talked about how Van Gogh uses bold, brushstrokes or dashes. They filled each object with dashes to add texture and Van Goghs style.
Once the Land portion was completed..
We added the sky. A crescent moon, 6 or more stars. They added "halos" of dashes and they added wind, swirls, or tails with orange, yellow, and white.
Last but not least they used purples, greens, and blues to complete the sky.
Check them out:
Love the trees!
