Explore the colours of winter through remarkable artworks, artist studies and creative activities.
This 40-page printable art pack introduces children to Finnish artists Akseli Gallen-Kallela and Fanny Churberg, alongside Japanese ukiyo-e master Utagawa Hiroshige. Children can look closely at winter landscapes, discover how artists use colour and brushstrokes, and explore how different places, climates and artistic traditions shape the way landscapes are represented.
Beginning with art history and colour vocabulary, the pack gently develops children’s understanding through observation, discussion and practical experimentation. Children will investigate warm and cool colours, mix their own colour wheel, explore cool undertones and create a winter landscape inspired by Gallen-Kallela’s snowy paintings.

Large-scale artwork pages for close observation
Guided artwork discussion pages
Child-friendly colour theory and vocabulary
Artist warm-ups exploring brushstrokes, weather and distance
A comparison of Gallen-Kallela’s paintings of Finland and Kenya
