Should I Teach Winter or Christmas Art Lessons - Part 2

In the previous post I discussed why and how we need to respond to cultural experiences and offer choice with our December art lessons. I also shared about some very popular art lessons guides I've created for Clay Gnomes and Clay Christmas trees.
In this post I will share my art lessons for those of you who prefer paint options or don't have access to a kiln. 
I created 2 lesson plans for trees - one for Early elementary and the other for Upper elementary. Both start with the same guided drawing and painting steps, then differentiate into either a Snowy (outdoor) tree or a Christmas (indoor) tree.

And this exploding card (guided video) tutorial will be great for more than just Christmas cards. Put out the listed materials for both the Christmas option and an alternate one, based on your own unique classroom community.

If you still prefer to stick with a winter / summer seasonal theme instead, I've creates a few of these for Early and Upper elementary, too. You can read about these in my next post or view all my Winter-Christmas art lessons in my TPT store HERE - One Teacher's Journey
