Glue Outlined Oil Pastel Project

This last week we completed an art project that involved some new materials and techniques for us.  With spring being in the air, our focus was on creating flowers in our project.  The technique was different than any other project we had done this year.  On a piece of black construction paper, the students drew their floral designs in pencil.  Then we went over the pencil with a thick white glue border.  The glue dried overnight, and over the next few days the students used oil pastels to fill in their flowers.  They loved using the oil pastels because they blend so nicely to make new colors.  This was a very fun project!
