Kindergarten artists reviewed what a landscape is (picture of land) and learned how to draw a winter tree. We looked at different trees and their tree trunks and branches. While looking at the trees, the children noticed that the branches resembled little letter "y's" which is why their tree is a Y tree.
Children first started using 2 different color chalk pastels to color their paper. After coloring their paper, they used a paper towel to blend the colors together, which also created a beautiful background. Then, with pencil, they drew the ground; bumpy, curvy or straight. They followed with using brown oil pastel and drew their Y tree, making sure the tree trunk was fatter at the bottom and had various sizes of branches. When done with their tree, they used white paint and painted the ground and used a Q-tip for the snowflakes. I topped their art off with iridescent glitter once it was on the drying rack. They look beautiful!

Winter tree almost done
Snowflakes added with a Q-tip (although I think in the picture she used her paintbrush)
Some of the winter trees finished. I sprinkled iridescent glitter over the top of the art for an added sparkly touch. :-)
