Oil Pastel Skills

 We started our new Art unit on World Book Day, learning new skills using oil pastels.  We learned how to use hard pressure and light pressure blends, using white, black and contrasting colours.  We then applied them to create pieces of collage for our class artwork based on the book Windows by Julia Denos. Our finished collage will be up on display in the Library soon!
