We read "Snowmen at Night" by Caralyn Buehner. We studied the illustrations as we read the story and had some great discussions on value, shape, form, line, space and color. We made observations on light source, all the different faces, hats, scarves and things that the snowmen were doing. After the story we got to work creating our own snowmen using value to make our shapes look like 3-diminsional forms. We started by drawing overlapping circles for the snowmen. Students used oil pastel for a majority of the artwork, and then used some color pencil to add detail.
