Winter Snow Day Art Camp

Join us in the first of our Winter Art Camps here at the Dahl and get cozy! We have two days of snow-themed art projects for your K-5th grader to enjoy.

Snow Creature Sculptures

Students will craft sculptures or people, animals, or imagined creatures. Students will use various materials to create a structure for their sculpture, add air dry clay to give it a snow created look, then add fabrics or small objects to detail their creations. Once their clay has dried, they can go back and paint details or add other features as they desire.

Mosaic Collages

Students will explore the multifaceted art of mosaics by creating various holiday or winter themed scenic collages. Using a variety of colorful papers and scraps, magazine clippings, and festive shiny materials (such as tinsel or foil), students will tear and cut small pieces in order to create a larger picture.

Melted Snowpeople Paintings

Students will use acrylic paint to capture an uncommon type of portrait: the transformation of a jolly snowperson into a colorful puddle. This project encourages students to learn and think about abstract art while using painting techniques to create liquid textures in their work. On a dark paper, students will experiment with blending, swirling, and dripping techniques to show the movement of melting snow (white acrylic) mixing with various colors of the features and accessories of the students’ choosing.
