Digital Art & Creative Writing Activity: Build a Gnome

Digital Art & Creative Writing Activity: Build a Gnome This digital art and creative writing activity guides students to use a design board to create their own unique gnome. After assembling the gnome using various customizable features like hair, eyes, nose, and clothing, students will then write a descriptive paragraph to give their new gnome friend a backstory and personality. The activity promotes creativity and imagination. It can be used independently, in small groups, or as a whole class. Sample gnomes made by students are provided within the Microsoft PowerPoint file to spark inspiration. This cross-curricular activity that merges art and writing is well-suited for grades 2-5.
