It's a joy of creating holiday-themed art "Christmas Truck". Kids can add their unique festive touches. 
Step 1: Sketching the Christmas Truck.
Step 2: Adding details such as the truck's shape, tires, and any holiday decorations like wreaths, a tree in the back. I will allow for creativity and personalization.
Step 3: Outlining with Pencil or ultra fine sharpie.
Step 4: Watercolor Base 
Step 5: Adding Color and Details
Step 6: Once the paintings are dry they will add extra details to enhance their Christmas trucks. They can use markers, crayons or color pencils for details.



At the start of our class, I'll go over the classroom rules. Kids should remember to mute their audio to prevent background noise. If you have a question, you can raise your hand emoji or use the chat box. I'll use a second camera to show my drawing on paper. If we have time, at the end of the class I'll provide feedback on your finished work and share some crafty ideas.

I believe that learning should be a shared experience, so I draw, and the kids follow along. I encourage active participation, and my rule of thumb is that if more than 50% of the kids have completed their artwork, we move on to the next step. They should use their thumbs up emoji after finished that step.  They can ask for guidance and get feedback by showing their work on the screen at every stage. To make it easier for them, I recommend using a sheet of paper rather than a heavy sketchbook. They can submit a picture of their completed drawing for teacher and student comment. 

With 14 years of experience working with kids aged 5 to 17, I've honed my teaching methods to engage and inspire young artists, fostering their creativity and appreciation for the natural world. Together, we embark on a journey of artistic exploration inspired by the wonders of nature.
