There is nothing better on a cold winter day than a steaming mug of delicious hot chocolate! This drawing activity is inspired by the work of folk artist Heather Galler, who uses colorful designs and patterns in her paintings. Here are some Hendrix student artworks inspired by Heather Galler's style! Notice the bright colors and variety of patterns: stripes, dots, checks, squiggles, and more! Follow along with this guided drawing to create your own mug! And here are more images to give you ideas . . . Remember, it's the little details that make it special: think about adding marshmallows, whipped cream, sprinkles, cookies, and more! For a little extra inspiration, here's a video showing some famous hot chocolate recipes from restaurants in London. (It's a very long video- when we watch this at school, we will only watch a couple of minutes instead of the whole thing.) If you are interested in how ceramic mugs are made, here's a video showing the whole process from start to finish.

Have you ever made a "hand turkey"? It's a traditional thing for kids to do during this time of year. But- can you be MORE creative? What ELSE could you make? Trace your hand and turn it into anything you want- anything OTHER than a turkey! Here are some examples to help you get started. (If you see an idea you like, think of how you can make it your own idea instead of just copying the artist!) Just remember- no hand turkeys!! Thanksgiving is not really about turkey... it's about remembering what we are thankful for! This book, Thankful by Eileen Spinelli, will remind us of some of those things: Try making a "Gratitude Board"... a drawing showing all the things you are grateful and thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving! |
