Snowy Owl Art

Supplies:

• Dark blue or black A4 paper (for the night sky)

• White paint (poster or acrylic)

• Fork (plastic or metal)

• Brown and orange paper (for tree branch and beak)

• Googly eyes or yellow/white paper circles for eyes

• Glue stick or PVA glue

• Scissors

• Optional: cotton balls or white crayons for extra snow effects

Steps:

1. Create the Branch:

   • Cut a thick, curved branch shape out of brown paper.

   • Glue it near the bottom of your dark background paper.

2. Paint the Owl’s Body:

   • Dip the back side (prongs) of a fork into white paint.

   • Starting in the middle of your page (just above the branch), press and drag the fork outward repeatedly to build the owl’s fluffy body shape.

   • Continue in layers, working outward and upward to make it round and feathery.

   • Use small fork strokes for the head and longer ones for the body.

3. Add the Face:

   • Cut out two white or yellow paper circles and draw smaller black circles in the centre (or use googly eyes). Glue them to the top centre of the owl body.

   • Cut a small triangle from orange paper and glue it just below the eyes for the beak.

4. Feet (Optional):

   • Use black or brown paper to make small claws or use a marker to draw feet sitting on the branch.

5. Add Snow:

   • Use white paint or a white crayon to add falling snowflakes and dots all around the background.

   • You can also stretch out cotton balls and glue bits around the edges for a snowy texture.
