First, we looked at master artist Claude Monet's painting "The Magpie." We chatted about the colors he used, the content, and the shadows in his artwork. 

Our inspiration: The Magpie by Cluade Monet

Next, students tore strips of masking tape in half the long way and stuck them to their water color vertically with the torn edges facing out. They added branches, drew  a horizon line, and painted their sky with watercolors. The final step that day was to sprinkle a little salt on the sky. 
The following art class, students painted some snow hills, tree shadows, a fence with a shadow, and bark on the trees. We looked at images of birch trees to make them look realistic. The fifth graders did an excellent job creating their winter landscapes!

​Thank you to Deep Space Sparkle for the detailed lesson!
