Christmas Chalk Art at Hodgepodge


Christmas art all in one spot… because you ARE an artist…

Christmas Star over Bethlehem – This lesson is a simple, yet a lovely one to celebrate the Christmas season. My students enjoyed the bright colors and the velvet blue night sky that we painted.

Christmas Cookies – we wondered what type of Christmas cookies you love to bake and decorate. Some of our favorites are Christmas stars, trees, cookies shaped like ornaments and candy canes. There are always plenty of sprinkles. Maybe you like icing…

Christmas ornament – Nana decided we needed a painterly effect around the ornaments. Each chose their own color. For the painterly effect, turn your pastel stick on its side and skumble – just gently brush your pastel around your ornaments.

Christmas Presents Under the TreeDraw a line of wide “W” shapes. These are the bottom branches of the tree. Take your brown and make a sturdy trunk: just two straight lines in the middle of your Ws, about three inches long for the trunk.

Christmas tree in the snow – Be sure to sign your name with your favorite color, then find a spot to display your beautiful Christmas tree! You may even want to give your tree as a gift.
