Oil Pastel on Tempera
The children work on easel paintings for a l-o-n-g time. The second set of easel paintings for the school year were started this month (January). The first layer features neutral tones (grays, blacks, and browns). The second layer featured a mandala study. In the end, this bright pop of colors circle painting within a painting tumbled out to look like these very cool floating planets on a misty night sky. Happy accidents, on purpose, but not my purpose...the children's purpose.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could use oil pastels like these kids!!!!!
ReplyDeletePastels are so much fun to use---and yet I've never shared them with my students! Yikes! I really should rectify that soon! These are really great and I love the idea that this is a long term project! :)
ReplyDeleteYay! Ayn. Looking forward to the pics.
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant colours. We haven't played with oil pastels yet, but think we will get some!
