Oil Pastel Nests

Kimani, Grade 1
Ms. Brand's class layered lines this week, experimenting with oil pastels.  We practiced making a dark hole for the middle of the nest, and made hatch marks with lighter colors on top to create layers of sticks.  I love how the backgrounds and branches were all so different.  My goal for this exercise was for them to notice differences between oil pastels and crayons, and to notice how lines show up best on top of a contrasting color or value.
