Pastels



This art project was done using pastels. The objective was to get students to learn about shading and blending of the pastels. First students were required to make a figure and pick a light source. Then with a color, green, we added shades with white and black pastels to add dimensions to object. After we were done with that we were asked to pick a landscape. Then we started with the sky and then went to the ground and made what we found was the most important in our landscape. Mine was a picture of a beach with a beautiful sky.

Extension: Students would be able to use this with science and math class. In science students would be able to draw the different layers of the forest. They would be able to blend their colors to make the perfect drawing. In math they could go from surface area of a two-dimensional object to the volume of a three-dimensional object. It is very helpful for students to draw what they are learning.
