Write on the board a list of common elements the students may use in their artworks. This list may consist of: snow, nighttime or daytime sky, cityscape, icicles, bare trees, and a fence. Make sure the students know that each piece of their triptych has to contain a common element.

This list may consist of: A house, a snowman, bare trees, frozen lake, child sledding, and/or a forest or other animal. |
