Description

Winter Trees Negative Space

Explore negative space and watercolour with this creative Winter Trees art lesson. Students draw a winter tree silhouette, then paint the spaces around and between its branches, leaving the tree as white paper. The painted area forms a rounded shape that suggests the tree’s canopy, creating a striking winter artwork.

Students develop their drawing skills, brush control and ability to create lighter and darker shades with watercolour. They can personalise their artwork with a crescent moon, snowflakes or fairy lights, or develop their own ideas for finishing touches.

The lesson can be adapted to suit different abilities. Students who need support can use transfer paper or a lightbox to trace a tree, while those seeking a challenge can photograph a winter tree and draw their own silhouette.

Included in this download:

  • A 15-slide presentation including objectives and step-by-step images to support students. The presentation also includes adaptive teaching ideas to support those with different strengths and needs.
  • The same presentation available as a Google Slides view-only link for quick, browser-based use.
  • 4 winter tree silhouettes and 1 simplified tree silhouette.

Ideal as a Christmas art activity or a secular festive lesson. There are many more Christmas and festive lessons and painting lessons on The Arty Teacher.

Sarah Crowther – The Arty Teacher

I set up The Arty Teacher because I have a passion for my subject that I want to share with other art teachers around the world.

I have been a high school art teacher for over 20 years, so I understand what it’s like to be in front of a class of students, often with very different abilities and attitudes.

I wanted to develop resources that would help teachers to bring out the best in every student in every class. I also wanted to free-up staff from time-consuming lesson preparation to let them focus instead on delivering exciting, motivating, dynamic lessons, supported by excellent resources.
