Product Description
Learn to draw a nutcracker while you learn about some German history.
The town of Leavenworth, Washington, is proud of its German heritage, so residents decided to make the entire downtown look like a German village. Probably the most interesting part of the town is the Nutcracker Museum, where one can find thousands of nutcrackers, some of them dating back centuries.
This lesson is an introduction to body proportions, and we use the size of the head as a way of keeping the proportions correct.
Since it takes only a few drops of each color to paint the nutcracker, dispense the paint into palettes. This also prevents painters from mixing your supply of colors.
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the nutcracker.
Approximate Time to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 25 minutes
- Finishing the picture: 40 minutes
- Total time: 65 minutes
Families will have access to the online lesson for one year from the date of purchase.
