WHAT STUDENTS LEARN

They color the drawing with oil pastels, adding bright colors and shading, and finish the background with watercolor paint for a layered effect. Along the way they practice drawing, pattern design, shading and color blending, and explore the elements of art: line, shape, color, texture and space.

Materials: pencil and eraser, black permanent marker or fine liner, oil pastels, watercolor paint, paint cakes or diluted tempera paint, paint brush and water, and cardstock or watercolor paper.
