Oil Pastel Snow-globes 3rd-5th Grade ~ Ms. Lee and Ms. Gilbraith


Description:
Students will create oil pastel drawings using foreground, middle ground and background.  Also included in this project will be use of at least two elements and principles.  To begin the actual project, we took circle stencils and traced one large circle on the paper we were working on.  The area within the circle will be the working space to create our snow-globe pictures.  To begin applying the oil pastels to create a background.  Once the background is completed, the middle ground comes next.  The foreground is the last application.  The foreground is the object up close and is often the focus of the picture.

Extension Activity:
Another idea for oil pastel work it to create a puzzle.  Cut out a large piece of cardboard creating puzzle pieces. Each student will create their own puzzle piece by using oil pastels.  They will design the piece to represent themselves and the pieces will come together to make a large classroom puzzle.
