Reverse Oil Pastel Painting

The students of Access All began a new project that will teach them new skills and challenge their creativity. They are working with oil pastels and are painting on clear acetate - two new materials that they have not experimented with yet. The project came from Blick Lesson Plans online catalog for Teachers and Educators - a great resource of art lessons for children of all ages. The idea behind this particular lesson is to give the impression of a stained glass window by adhering foil to the back of the painting. This image is a rough example done by the art teacher. Student paintings will be posted once they have been completed so check back. So far, they are looking really great!
