Day 2

1. Add wax resist with with crayon in the background (push hard)

2. Demo painting and mixing colors https://youtu.be/gujP4E5uU9Y

3. Paint the picture. I encourage my students to use all the colors on the color wheel, not just blue!

Day 3

1. Demo adding the colored pencil to create a 3D look to the snowman. Talk about where the moon light is coming from and have the shadow on the opposite side. I have students use a light and dark pencil, the dark one goes along the edge and inward, the the light one will overlap slightly and continue outward. They should have 3 VALUES.

2. Art walk. Find another artist who did a great job with the shading.

The art walk is a great way to asses. Ask them to find another artist who made the secondary colors, or who did a good job with the wax resist. I like to ask them to find something they want to try in their artwork next time.
