As teachers, we have to find creative ways to incorporate holidays and themes into the curriculum. I had just started color theory and didn't want to stop in the middle of it to do holiday themed art because it breaks momentum. In order to do both, we had some holiday fun with primary and secondary colors. 2nd and 3rd graders created Christmas lights or winter birds for the primary colors and then mugs and mittens for secondary colors. 4th and 5th graders did Mondrian style Christmas for primary colors and had free reign on the secondary colors.
