Oil Pastel Pumpkins

Description: This was a peer taught lesson that was so much fun to complete! For this project we used oil pastels to complete a drawing of a pumpkin in the outdoor nighttime! We started this project by tracing the scene with a sharpie marker to create a thicker outline for us to follow. Then we discussed the difference in highlights and shadows and where they would be placed on a picture like this. We also talked about the contrast between warm and cool colors and how we can use them together to make the brighter colors more vibrant. To color this we used different ways of shading and blending them out with our finger tips. While doing this we added more colors to create the brighter and darker points of our image. Once done blending and drawing our stars we then used glue and traced over our sharpie maker lines so they would stand out against our pastels! 

Extension Activity: For this extension, I would have students pick one object or symbol from another season and create a drawing similar but representing that season. Or having students, when learning how to write their name, write their name and repeatedly blend out the colors due by tracing it over-and-over.
