Emphasis on Oil Pastels



I asked my 7th grade to create Emphasis using oil pastels.  I was impressed with their results.  Students drew their images on black tag board and traced their lines with white glue.  When the glue was dried they filled in the spaces with oil pastels.  I encouraged students to create as much shading as they could.  If you want to see more works from this lesson, please visit my flickr site.
