Add baby oil to your oil pastel drawing and it becomes an oil pastel painting. This simple experience is the perfect way to learn how to blend oil pastels.

This project is a great way for students to experiment with color and learn how to use oil pastels. It is a versatile project because it is basic enough for our 3 and 4 year old artists to enjoy in art camp, but can also be modified to be challenging enough for an Art II or Art III class. For our high school students, we asked them to choose a color scheme to use on the project. Some of them needed a refresher on the different color schemes so they completed this worksheet first…

During our inservice a teacher said they used baby oil and Q-tips with oil pastels. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS?!?!?! This morning during my planning time I finally got a chance to give it a try! LOVE IT!!!!! There are some things I need to work out about how many Q-tips to use, how to pass out the baby oil & how much to give each table..etc. I'm totally doing this though!!!!

If you're looking for an alternative art source that is less messy but just as vibrant as paint, consider a range of oil pastels. They are a completely dry art medium so there is no waiting in creating an overlaid image, but they have the mixing ability of oil or acrylic paint.

Drying still life paintings 2nd graders made their still life mixed media art this week. They were working from a photo (in my last post) enlarged on the Smartboard. We talked about where each of the fruits were positioned and I demonstrated how to use the oil pastel first, shade with a bit of black and then blend all together with a Q-tip dipped in baby oil. We talked about starting with the apple in the very center and emphasized making it about the size of a real apple or their fist…

I love collecting art supplies. I mean, I love minimalism but books and craft supplies are my weaknesses. Big time. But, I don't like spending a lot of money on art supplies. So, when I came across a way to use regular ol' Crayola crayons in a more refined way, I was intrigued. Because, let's face it, crayons make look any coloring look like you are three years old. But not with this method. It gives such a cool watercolor effect. This hack is so simple it seems like it shouldn't work, but…

Tomorrow I have 2 classes of 2nd graders that will be making a still life using oil pastels and baby oil for the fruit and liquid water colors for the table and background. This all has to be finished in one 45 minute period, and I think it is doable! We'll be using this still life: Here is my "practice version" of a slightly different set-up. I always learn so much by doing a sample first. In this case, we are using donated scraps of all different brands of illustration board and I wanted…
