Testimonials
I am so glad I got this!! It’s very engaging and my students were able to make some really creative final images. Teaching remotely, I was able to easily screen share to show the students each step of the project and the functions in Google Slides. We had done the digital sugar skull a few months prior, so they had some familiarity with the process already. I created a poll in my Google Classroom to see which Christmas project they would be more interested in working on and that made it much more enjoyable as they were very excited about their selected topic (5th & 8th grades selected the gingerbread house, 6th chose the elf and 7th wanted ugly sweater).
I’m an art teacher who works at 2 different schools, and this year has been challenging working on a crazy hybrid schedule so as to make sure everyone stays safe and nothing gets spread between the schools. This digital project was such a lifesaver (and time saver!!) in trying to come up with fun, engaging and creative things for my students to make and get to do something a little different than what we might have done in a physical art class setting. – Karyn B.
This was a great resource for my big kids once they got done with their main art project in class. We had a “ketchup day” and afterward I had a couple of these links for them to copy and create their own gingerbread men and ugly Christmas sweaters. Going to use the elf and the house one next week! – Ivie A
I purchased one of the other digital projects (Build a snowman) and my students were completely engaged and loved the project. These resources are fantastic and have great step by step directions. – Melissa H.
