So many of the students get so excited to get to the paint project. They get a canvas to paint on, and they get to work with wet-media. Something a little different from what they have done thus far. Besides, who doesn’t like to paint? This provides a few different challenges with color mixing (to get the right hue they are looking for, as I try to encourage them to only use the Primary Colors as their base pallet), creating texture, and learning to work with drying time as the paint either takes to long to dry, or doesn’t dry fast enough. It’s a different experience for some, but the results are superb.

Level 9: Oil Pastel
Starting at a young age, most children get to use crayons as their main medium for drawing and coloring. Oil Pastels are similar, but more of an official artistic medium, with more of a oil base which allows for some great blending between colors. I’ve found that students either love it, or dislike this project. But, its always good to try something new.
