Change the first photo with
[Photo Techniques] Photo to Snow Globe
Open the photo in scale 1:1 in Clip Studio Paint. You can use any photo that you want and turn it into a snow globe. A photo that contains a building is a good choice. Don’t forget to crop the photo in scale 1:1 or you can set the camera in scale 1:1 before taking a picture.
Determine the center point
Make a cross line in the photo to determine the middle (center point) of the photo. This center point will be very useful later to determine the part of the photo to put the symmetrical ruler.
Press Ctrl + U and change the hue from 0 to 180. It will change the color of the whole photo.
Change the color of sky
Open a new layer and change the mode from ”Normal” to ”Overlay”.
After that, add blue color (or whatever you want) with a soft airbrush.
Blend the blue color with ”finger tip” and merge the overlay layer with the layer below after the blending process.

This lesson has a “portable” Prezi to introduce the idea of families and identity, drawing pages to help students design snowmen to represent their family members, and instructions for turning the drawings into snow globes using a clear plastic plate (the plate is optional, of course). I’ve also included a label, rubric, and a step-by-step instruction page to help students put the snow globe together. During this lesson, your students will practice skills used in an art critique (of famous paintings and their own work), drawing, painting, cutting, gluing, writing, and self-assessment.
See the Snowman Drawing Kit here. It’s included in this lesson, so don’t buy both.
