Winter Forest Value & Contrast Art Project
By Color Me Creative Art Room
Teach students how artists use value and contrast to create depth, mood, and visual impact with this Winter Forest Value & Contrast Art Project for grades 6–12. Students create a winter landscape while exploring light and dark values, overlapping forms, foreground, middle ground, background, and composition. The winter forest theme gives students a clear visual structure while still allowing room for individual choices in layout, value range, texture, and atmosphere. Use this project during a value unit, drawing unit, winter art lesson, Art 1 class, middle school art class, or as a seasonal project that still reinforces meaningful art fundamentals.
