2nd Graders Create a Winter Wonderland!

  Students gained some valuable information during this project: tissue paper can be used to add color to a painting!  We started with watercolor paper, and added snowflakes and wind.  A look at photographs of real snowflakes up close helped us to get the structure right.  All that was needed for the beautiful blended colors (cool colors, of course!) was bleeding tissue paper and lots of water, over and under the tissue. Students overlapped the tissue to avoid white areas.  The finishing touch was glitter glue in white, silver and blue!
