This project was another spring unit. I accomplished this master piece by following the instructions in our Art Methods class.
For this class we were instructed how to shave oil pastels onto appropriate paper so that it could be ironed to blend cool colors. It was a fun project because while shaving the colors we didn't really know how the colors were going to turn out. Thankfully, mine turned out pretty well. I made two separate sheets and combined them to make this little insect.

Just like I mentioned in the last blog post, I would use this as an introduction to a Language Arts unit. This would provide the students a chance to write with imagination. I would use it as a time to work on grammar and fundamental writing skills.
