@2art.chambers Thanks for the idea, we added a few Christmas balls. #art #kidsart #kidsartideas #school #elementaryschool #elementaryart… | Instagram

I showed my 4th graders how to draw the simple shapes that make up the nutcrackers. Then I asked them to decorate the nutcrackers they drew by adding their own details. We talked about the element of design, value and how it makes things in art work look "real". I showed them techniques that they could use with oil pastels to create value in their art work.

Kids will love making this colorful Christmas chalk pastel art using an easy pastel technique and printable templates. A great holiday art project for kids of all ages!

Complete with 4 different Kandinsky Christmas Tree Circle Art templates, this fun and simple circle art project is great for kids of all ages from preschoolers and kinders, to the biggest of Arty Crafty Kids.

This fun lesson only took 2 (40 minute) art classes! Just enough time for a couple of my 5th grade classes to create them before winter break!! Steps to the lesson with pics below! A big THANKS to…

Holiday art lessons are always fun to plan. But I am also supposed to teach curriculum, standards, the elements and principles of design, and art history. It is possible to squeeze everything in and still keep the holiday spirit! Here is how I combined holiday festivity with educational value to create a collection of holiday art lesson plans. #holidayartlessons #holidayart // holiday art lessons // holiday art // holiday lessons

Holiday Trees are so much fun to create during the holiday season! Our Christmas Tree Art Project is cubism-style art that's gorgeous and surprisingly easy to make, perfect for DIY Christmas gifts!
