Penguin Art Project Christmas Art Lesson Primary Art Activity Winter Art Lesson

In this Penguin Christmas Art Lesson, students create a penguin art piece for Christmas using oil pastels. A step-by-step penguin drawing sheet and a full visual and text demonstration help every student create the piece successfully.

The lesson is an original idea by Ms Artastic. Each demonstration step sits on its own page with an image and a description, so it is easy to project for students or use as your own guide while you demonstrate.
