Art Activity/ Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy by Karen Foxlee

Misery Bird in flight

I am totally in love with these art projects for Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy created at book club!

Snow Queen's forest

Didn't they come out awesome?

PROJECT/ Recreate one of the Snow Queen's events from the story. The results? Misery bird in flight, the Snow Queen's forest of ice and snow, and the Wintertide Clock. Sadly, I forgot to take pics of all the compositions :(

MATERIALS/ To recreate this project, students draw their design with a white crayon. Then watercolor over the crayon. The crayon will 'resist' the watercolor and stay white. Lastly, sprinkle with salt to get the snowflake effect.
