Winter is the time to create art that helps us understand the change in temperature, daylight, and weather that we see outside. Holidays like Christmas and Valentines day allow students to focus on giving gifts, performing acts of kindness, and creating friendships in their environment. In some parts of the world, the weather outside will make art projects a necessary component of the daily routine. Projects incorporating sun catchers, snowflakes cut outs, and recycled materials can provide a fun way to stay warm and still keep those hands busy and minds active. Winter is a great time to experiment and prepare, while also being concious of the conditions outside.
