K-3 students all had a hand at making snowmen that show perspective. This is a concept that young children love to discover and when they do you hear many Aha's around the art room and there is a sense of power and cracking a code of sorts when they learn these new skills. Kinders and first grade made cut paper snowmen "looking straight up" into their snowflake covered skies. In most images you don't even see the snowmen's eyes because of the angle.
Second and third grade made snowmen that were viewed form a bird's eye view so "looking down" and we discussed what you would see if you were a bird flying over a snowman looking directly down on them. In this case the snowman are also looking up to the sky, but being viewed from above instead straight on like the K/1 snowmen.
