Oil Pastel batik
Mr. Sacco's eighth grade art
students created these oil pastel batik drawings based
on objects from observation. Students first made sketches of objects and
selected
the best one for their design. Next, they worked on design using their object as
a center of interest and adding details and a border,
After some practice blending with oil pastels, students colored their drawing
with warm/cool color contrast and value in mind. Students left a small uncolored
border around all their shapes so that the final brush work using India ink
could be added
to increase contrast and emphasis.
Medium: oil pastel and India ink
