Spring Creating: Looking at Weather

Spring Creating Together as a Family

Transform your family time into creative exploration this spring break with a simple yet engaging art project that celebrates spring weather. As you begin, take a moment to observe the weather together - what do you notice outside your window?

"Spring Weather Scene" - 10 Minute Family Art Project Materials:

• White paper

• White crayon or oil pastel

• Watercolors (or food coloring + water)

• Paintbrush

• Paper towel

  
  

Spring weather is here!

Before Starting, Observe Together:

• What is the weather like in spring?

• Sunny Day Signs: Bright flowers blooming, strong shadows, butterflies, birds

• Rainy Day Signs: Water droplets on windows, puddles, umbrella weather, gray skies

• Windy Day Signs: Swaying trees, floating leaves, dancing flower stems, waving flags

• As you are spring creating discuss the four seasons and changes that you see.

Spring Creating: Looking at the weather. Is it rainy? Windy? Sunny?

Steps to Spring Creating:

1. Choose your weather and draw its signs with white crayon (press firmly!)

2. Add details: flowers and birds; droplets and puddles; tilted trees and floating leaves

3. Select paint colors: Sunny - yellow/orange; Rainy - blue/gray; Windy - green/purple

4. Paint over entire paper to reveal your hidden weather scene

5. Blot excess water and display your weather art!
