I love the Holiday season and love coming up with new Christmas Art Ideas! So I created some fun holiday inspired art lessons that build on skills, have educational content, and are inspired by well-known artists. There are ideas for everyone, from simple crayon resist ornaments for Kindergarten all the way to 2 point perspective gingerbread houses for 8th grade and higher.

This fun lesson only took 2 (40 minute) art classes! Just enough time for a couple of my 5th grade classes to create them before winter break!! Steps to the lesson with pics below! A big THANKS to…
