Always take care when outside in these conditions and take advice from your parent or guardian. Here an artist created big snowballs and carved them out with thick and thin areas. The artist has thought carefully about where to position them in the bright winter light to create a great effect. Think about how people and animals interact with the snow. Monet was inspired by the beautiful yellow light that happens in winter and the blue shadows it creates. Here Brugel has shown the interesting contrast between the dark figures and trees with the large white areas of snow.
