2nd Grade practiced right side of the brain drawing of flowers in their sketchbooks. They chose their best sketch and enlarged it on black paper and then outlined it in glue. They then used warm & cool color schemes to blend their chalk pastels into their glued outlines.

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I have never heard of black glue, where do you find it? I'm teaching a mixed media class, and this would be a wonderful addition to our project line up. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteActually Shirley, It's white crayola brand glue on black paper. It dries clear and flexible! However, If you are looking for black glue, just add a little black tempra paint to your regular glue and you can draw with it on white paper! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you use the oil for?
ReplyDeleteHi Candice! Those are vocab words I used with my kiddos. I demonstrated the difference between oil and chalk pastels.
