Bring depth, creativity, and festive design into your classroom with this two-lesson winter art bundle. Students explore charcoal techniques to capture a winter landscape and then switch to hands-on paper engineering to create their own pop-up reindeer Christmas card. A perfect mix of expressive art and engaging design skills.
 
Lesson 1: Drawing Charcoal Winter Trees
Students learn how to work with charcoal to create rich value, texture, and contrast in a dramatic winter tree landscape. They explore shading, blending, mark-making, and composition while building confidence with a new medium.
Lesson 2: Pop-Up Christmas Card (Reindeer)
Students experiment with simple paper engineering to design and assemble a pop-up reindeer card. They practise cutting, folding, and construction skills while creating a festive card to share. A fun blend of craft, creativity, and problem-solving.
