1. For our sky, we used watercolor paint and salt. The students discovered that the salt dissolves the water in the paint leaving behind a crystallized snowy texture.
2. For our icy terrain, we used tempera paint and plastic wrap. After the students were done painting their ground we crumpled up the plastic wrap and put it on our damp painting. The plastic wrap was left on our painting until the paint dried and then we lifted it off. The plastic wrap leaves a shape behind wherever it touched the paper creating the icy texture.
