I was looking for more applications for the tissue paper texture technique I described in my last post.....thinking about what the texture reminded me of,..... when I thought tree bark. So here is the result. Please click on the picture for a close up view. Now you could easily vary the background and do it in a variety of mediums...pastel, colored pencil, colored paper collage..etc. Here is this version. Materials Required: tissue textured paper as described in this post watercolor paper…

This was one of those projects that left the kids so proud of themselves afterwards. Several of them said it was easier than they thought it would be. We used different sizes of painters & masking tapes to make the tree trunks (the largest widths were put on first so they would come off last to get the right perspective). Then the kids painted the backgrounds with two different acrylic paints, blending them in the middle where they met. We used metallic paints to make the circles with…

For this project we talked about how many things artist create come from simple shapes. We also talked about visual texture, and how to use a sponge to get the "fluff" look of a chick. Using sponges and white and yellow tempera (mixed together and watered down), we made circles for the heads. We used triangle sponges for the nose, and the back of a paintbrush for the eye dots, feet, orange hair, and grass. I tried to teach "profile" with the kids- and some of them got it! Pretty cute!

1st graders made a winter scene with textured paint to form birch trees along with a cardinal in flight as it snows! I know it's early but the sooner it's done, the longer the students can enjoy it during the season! Before we started, we put our names on the back of the light blue paper. For the trees I instructed the students to create textured paint on their white piece of paper by taking a very small amount of black paint and combing it out (focusing on hardly getting any black paint on…

Ah, the ever-popular Birch Trees project! Art teachers, staff, students and parents LOVE this lesson. It always has a high success rate so all students, regardless of their art abilities, can succeed. I love projects like these. Who doesn't love the stark, bare beauty of birch trees set against the quietness of snow. Image Source There's lots of steps and lots of different versions out there on other art teacher blogs. I don't know who the originator of this lesson is, but if you're out…

Painting birch trees is a perennial favorite in art rooms. And for good reason. They’re easy, accessible and impressive. I thought this take on the standard birch trees was equally as pretty. I believe I found the idea on Artsonia, but shame on me, I forgot to note the art teacher. Supplies: – White 12″

This popular watercolor birch trees art lessons is a fun way to tie in the winter holidays with your students art. With simple supplies of tape, salt, and

As the leaves are quickly changing colour where I live, I though I'd better post this fall landscape project. It's a 'autumnal' take on the infamous 'winter birch tree' project. It uses masking tape to create the trees and all students can be successful with this type of project. For pretty much all of my projects, I do an initial demonstration to teach new techniques, discuss the materials, introduce new artists, etc, but then let the students interpret the project in their own way. This…
