As an art teacher it is very difficult to design creative holiday lessons. Which is one of the reasons students have not made much holiday art in the art classroom. However this lesson is filled with holiday fun and students are still able to gain valuable knowledge about famous artists. 4th grade students had a short introduction of four different artists, Picasso, Miro, Magritte, and Rousseau. Then each student started to design a stocking for their favorite artist out of those four. Next art class students will gather into their artist groups, read about the artist, and artwork. Then they will present their stockings with information about the artist to their class.
That's a great way to do a holiday project that is more than "cute"!
