Bring festive creativity and art-and-design skill-building into your classroom with this two-lesson winter bundle. Students learn essential construction techniques, practise watercolour painting, and produce beautiful seasonal artwork perfect for displays.
Lesson 1: 3D Present Boxes
Students learn how to construct a 3D cube from a net, developing spatial awareness and essential design skills. Once assembled, they decorate their cube as a festive present, exploring colour, pattern, and creative embellishments. A great hands-on project that strengthens problem-solving and fine motor skills.
Lesson 2: Watercolour Snowy Scene
Students explore watercolour techniques—such as washes, blending, and creating texture—to paint an atmospheric snowy landscape. They experiment with contrast, layering, and mark-making to capture a winter feel and produce a stunning seasonal artwork.
