Birch Trees in Winter: art project

Our latest art project was admired by all families during student-led conferences this week! We used tape to mask off the paper for the birch trees. Then, the sky was painted with liquid watercolours. Some students sprinkled salt to get a bit of texture. On the next day, the tape was removed and oil pastel was used to add the birch bark marks and shadow on each tree. Finally, students added snow with white acrylic paint, if they wanted.
