2nd Grade Winter Snow Angels

Our inspiration: A Perfect Day by Carin Berger

After reading the story A Perfect Day, 2nd Grade students first created the snow angel using tints of blue tempera paint. The following art class, they added themselves to their snow angel!  We learned how to fold a piece of paper to create an item with symmetry (a coat) or to create two of something at once (a pair of boots, mittens). They could add buttons or yarn for their hair or scarf. The last step was to use white tempera and the tip of the handle of their paintbrush to add some falling snow. 

Thank you to Deep Space Sparkle for the project inspiration.
