December Pinterest Inspiration

Inside: Some pinterest Christmas inspiration. Three fabulous art projects for kids.

Hello!
 
I'm posting my 3 favourite pinterest pics for December.
 
My picks are all art related because that's what inspires me the most at Christmas time. I could seriously do art all day long if I could get away with it:)

My first choice is this sweet snowman from Artsonia.. I love the perspective and the black outlines. It looks like a watercolour wash with some white crayon resist snowflakes in the background. Love the crazy sky colours and the way the snowman is kind of peeking at us from the side of the paper.

My second pick is this collection of cute owl ornaments. I usually do the snowman hand ornaments as Christmas gifts for the parents, but I'm thinking I may have to change that up this year. This image is from the now deleted Meet the Dubiens blog.

And for number three, I've chosen to share this beautiful oil pastel Christmas tree. If you visit my pinterest link and then go to Elementary Art Fun for the original post, you can see lots more examples...definitely worth checking out.

      Thanks, Sara! I was thinking today that I'm going to save that one for January. Hopefully we'll have some snow then:) Good luck with yours!

      We used oil pastels just the other day for some Ted Harrison paintings. The kids really enjoy using them and I find they're pretty good with them ... not too many smudges:)
