3D Snowman

3D Snowman

3rd Grade

I found this lesson on Pinterest.  I wanted to teach my students about how value, which we had just learned about, could show form.  Before we started, we talked about why it looked 3D and not 2D.  Making this project was simple enough and the students really seemed to grasp the concept of form with it.

Step 1.  Draw snowman and ground on a 9" x 12" piece of light blue construction paper.

Step 2.  With oil pastel, color left side white and ground.

Step 3.  Color right side blue.  Add a shadow on the ground just to the right of the snowman.

Step 4.  Color the rest of the snowman and his accessories as desired.
