Fourth Grade Blends Oil Pastels To Create Sunflowers

Fourth grade students got a lesson in blending oil pastels to get realistic effects for their sunflower pictures. They were also taught a few different ways to draw sunflowers and we discussed how things in the foreground (front) of a picture appear larger and things in the background appear smaller.
Here are a few sunflowers in progress and a couple of finished ones as well. Sunflowers are some of my favorites each year!
