Up Close Snowmen

Winter stories have been popular since our first snowfall.  We've enjoyed many snow inspired books including some with snowmen.  This project focused on perspective.  Can you draw a snowman up close?  Pretend you are standing right in front of it, looking up.  They did an incredible job!  I encouraged them to be brave and go for it with black pastels, no pencils allowed!  They drew three big circles, off the paper, and then added the details.  Then, it was off to painting.  Once dry, they were outlined once again in pastel and embellished with some decorative snowflakes.




 Finished snowmen to come.....
