(preppy bug with an argyle body?)
(With those lips...maybe a diva bug)
First time using oil and chalk pastels - nice job Lilly!
I just started a new art session with a group of kindergarten thru 2nd graders. I thought my pastel "mega bug" project from my earlier post would be a quick straightforward starter lesson to loosen everyone up on our first day. Some of my students have never used pastels before while a couple could have jumped up and lead the lesson. I talked about creating fantasy bugs using whatever colors or patterns they'd like. The key was to work BIG (and off the page), as if we were viewing the bug through a magnifying glass. They outlined their shapes and patterns using light colored oil pastel (for contrast with our black paper) and used chalk pastel to fill in color
They definitely "got it" about going off the page. I think that is quite an accomplishment for kindergarteners. Bravo!!
