Winter Trees

We made winter trees this week.  We started by painting the background.  We talked about "analogous colours", - the colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel.

 We started to work, mixing colours as we went along.

 There was such concentration as we carefully added our colours ...

...remembering to leave "snow" at the bottom of our papers

After our backgrounds dried, we cut out tree and glued them on.  We made our trees 3-D.  That was tricky for some of us.  But we all helped each other!

Once the trees were done, we added some snow!

 It got a little messy!  But that was okay, as everyone pitched in to help clean up!

Look at these beautiful creations!
