Chalk Sunset

This is a project that 4th grade did, inspired by one that I made when I was in elementary. We got plenty of practice tearing paper and using a smearing technique with chalk pastels.

Van Gogh Bouquet

This is one of the most interesting projects when it is complete. We started our bouquets after learning about Van Gogh and texture. We created texture on our bouquets by putting a line of glue over all the lines in our sketch. After it dried, we filled everything in with chalk pastels and then went over the glue lines with a roller of black paint. This is just one of a ton of amazing lessons in my favoite art project book. *to make things a lot easier, test to make sure your glue isn't too watery. If it is, it will dry flat.
