  • First, students selected colored squares of tissue paper and dyed white paper colors of a sky (their choice to resemble which time of day) by painting over them with water.
  • Next, we'll use crayon resist to create snow on another white paper, use watercolor to paint mountains and shadows, and black permanent marker to make bare trees. 
  • Finally they'll layer the winter scene on top of their colored sky.
  • Project found at Primary Art.
