Winter Night This past month students used tempera paint and mark-
ers to create paintings that depict a “Winter Night.”
The scene was created using the techniques of Marker
Transfer and Stamping.
In the technique of Marker Transfer, students drew
lines on “Tree” templates using a marker. These tem-
plates were then flipped over (so the marker side is
down) onto a sheet of paper that has a layer of white
tempera. After the template is removed the marker
lines are transferred to the painted surface.
The falling “Snowflakes” are created by dipping the
eraser end of a pencil into a mixture of white and silver
glitter tempera paint. Students then used the pencil to
Stamp the circle shape of the eraser onto the paper.

Night” paintings: 1. Jonathan B. (Rm. 307)

I wanted to send a “Thank You” to all of those who helped out the Art
Program over the past month with art supplies and materials, including
Regina M. (Rm. 306), Jim C. (Rm. 308), and Christine C. (Rm. 119).
To all of you (and those of you that I may have missed) I say, “Thank You!!”
Winter Paper Mosaic Additionally, during the month of January students
created the Winter themed Paper Mosaics seen on
this page.
They were created by painting white drawing paper
with blue, purple, silver glitter and white tempera
paints. After the paint dried, this paper was cut into
small squares and rectangles which were glued onto
another piece of drawing paper.
To create the “trees” students colored drawing paper
with brown, black and purple crayons. This paper was
then painted with brown, silver glitter, and black tem-
pera paint.
After the paper was dry, “tree” shapes were traced on
the back and cut out. Then these “trees” were glued
onto the completed mosaic background.
Some examples of the com-
pleted “Winter Paper Mosa-
ics”: 1. Dominic C. (Rm.
306), 2. Karl K. (Rm. 306), 3.
Ocean P. (Rm. 310), and 4.
Shemar L. (Rm. 310).
