| This was our fundraiser project for the year. Sixth graders learned about blending oil pastel and adding shades and tints. |
 |
| I had photos of closeups of flowers that we used a viewfinder to further enlarge the flower part. I stressed that the edges of petals should not be drawn to get an abstract look. |
 |
| Students could choose any colors they wanted. We talked about georgia okeefe used a lot of analogous colors in her paintings. |
 |
| Next the students wrote a poem about their painting. They were supposed to imagine what the painting might look like. We used cinquain style of poem. |
