Favourite Christmas Art Lessons - Santa, Christmas Trees and Card Making

In the previous posts I shared ways that you can differentiate traditionally Christmas themed art lessons, and ensure inclusivity with student choice. You can read the previous post HERE
Now, if you are keen for a fully Christmas themed lesson, you cannot go past these 2.

This one was so much fun, students learning was focused around using value to add form and texture to their drawings. Uses basic art supplies found in any classroom. I think you'll agree they are too cute for words, really!

This is an oil pastel drawing lesson also focusing on value to add form and texture. I've run this lesson with both early and upper elementary students and they all enjoyed it equally. This lesson can also be tweaked to differentiate by offering snow, light and decoration options as 3 different versions (as explained in the previous posts).
As the end of the December term approaches, we can have odd bits of time in the school day when an art centre would be a perfect solution. I devised these art card drawing guides recently after reading a gorgeous art book called 'If Picasso Painted a Snowman.'
