In this one time class students will create a winter scene of polar bear beneath the beautiful Northern Lights!  I will lead students in drawing their own polar bear using basic shapes and line with a little introduction to shading.  After drawing their polar bears students will be guided in using different watercolor techniques to add color and texture to their bright, snowy skies.

While my directions are detailed, students are also encouraged to add their own unique details to their artworks.  As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed.  If time allows, at the end of class our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artworks with their classmates.  

**While each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students who work more slowly may need or wish to continue working on their artworks after we have signed off for the day.  Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush!   

Supplies Needed:
- 9x12 Thicker white paper or watercolor paper (80lb weight or higher; I like Canson (100510941) XL Series Watercolor Pad, 9" x 12", Fold-Over Cover, 30 Sheets.)
- Pencil with eraser
- Crayons (Especially white and black)
- Watercolor set. (Prang or Crayola recommended)
- Watercolor brush
- Container with water (a container with a wider base or a bowl is less likely to spill)
- Paper towels
- Salt 

**You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area.
