Snowy Scratchboard

Let it snow!  In fifth grade Art class, we learned about horizon lines and drew snowy landscapes.  After sketching, we used pointed tools to very carefully remove portions of our scratchboard, leaving snowy texture lines.

Secondary Spiral Snakes!

This is more than just a tongue-twister; it's an awesome art project!  In first grade Art class, we reviewed primary and secondary colors, then filled square papers with beautiful, secondary watercolors.  When the paper was dry, we traced a spiral and cut it out to make crazy, springy snakes!
