Santa Gnomes

 

4th and 5th Grade painted these adorable Santa Gnomes.

We did a very easy draw along.  Students were encouraged to draw big and to keep their hat pattern simple.  After drawing, students traced all their lines with sharpie.

For the eyes, students took a short cut and used sharpies and washable markers to add color.  Next they painted the face, hat, and background. Last they were encouraged to stamp snow and outline all parts of the face and hat with black paint. They used small brushes and took their time.

The students really loved this project and their Santa Gnomes came out so ridiculously cute. Everyone fell in love with them, and they really brightened up the halls with some Holiday Cheer!
