Christmas - Jars of Joy Paintings
Click here for: Gallery of Completed Paintings
Just finished up a series of 5 classes with 2nd through 4th grade. We used acrylic paint on canvas to do some Christmas paintings.
Class 1: Backgrounds and edges (christmas colors, not too crazy with patterns - should be kind of muted - cover all white canvas - don't get the colors too muddy)
Class 2: Jars (we cut shapes out of cardboard first and traced around them)
Class 3: Twirly Vines (fill up the canvas, used paint pens for the skinny vine, used q-tips for the dots of color along each vine)
Class 4: Bows and ornaments hanging from the vines
Class 5: Tiny Manger scene - hot glue to the canvas and wrap a ribbon around the edge.
Kids and parents both loved it, and we had a Christmas art show!
