WINTER SPARKLE Christmas Ornaments Art Project for a Visual Art Painting Lesson
Winter and Snow are always a favourite theme for December and January Visual Art projects for elementary kids. This Winter Sparkle Christmas Ornaments painting lesson is a step-by-step multi-lesson guide that teaches students about using the elements of art like Line, Shape and Form. Exploring the history of glass ornaments popular in cultural celebrations, students learn to use line and shape to create repeating elements in their paintings. Students in mid elementary will enjoy making their personal version of this striking artwork, guided by the instructions in the PDF slideshow. Make strong connections to Inquiry themes related to the history of Celebrations and Culture, IB themes like Who We Are and How We Express Ourselves. Students get to explore different application techniques with acrylic paints to create a fun artwork for the Winter season.
✅ Suitable for Mid Elementary students in 3rd - 5th grades.

❤️ So what is special about this resource?
WINTER SPARKLE Christmas Ornaments, is NOT a superficial art or craft option. As a specialist in this field, I write lessons that encourage deeper, cross-curricular learning and make meaningful connections to other subject areas. This IS:
- a painting tutorial that includes the concept of line, area, position and shape (Math),
- supports the principles of repetition, contrast, rhythm & harmony
- makes link to historic and modern celebrations, cultures and Seasons (Who We Are and How We Express Ourselves - IB).
- makes cross-curricular links to Seasons and Weather (How The World Works - IB)
Students can express their unique ideas through personal choices and modifications (suggestions offered in the guide), while working through the guided project. Pause the PDF presentation in places to discuss next steps with students, check understanding and explore potential student responses or modifications, bringing personal creative ideas to the tutorial. This addresses the Viewing & Responding to artwork objectives in a purposeful way.
