Let’s Make a Snow Filled Winter Town!

Step 1: Use the Lines within the Template to Paint a Tonal Winter Background

Step 1: Use the Lines within the Template to Paint a Tonal Winter Background

What does tonal mean in art?

In simple terms, “tonal” refers to how light or a dark a color is on the scale of white or black.

Use the segments within the template to explore different shades of blue, pink and purple; merging light and dark hues of the same color to create the tonal effect.

Colors can be made lighter or darker by added white or black.

How many different shades of one color can your Arty Crafty Kids make?

Step 2: Use an Eco Q-Tip to Print Snow Fall

The spots will become snow.
