Oil Pastels in Art Class

In Mrs. Gibbon’s Fourth Grade art class, students are learning to enhance their crayon drawings with oil pastels. This technique not only improves their artistic skills but also fosters creativity and self-expression.

Oil pastels are soft and easy to blend, layer, mix and shade all with the help of our fingers.  Students learn the difference between tints (add white to a color) and shades (add black to a color). Oil pastels come in a variety of bright colors and are a game changer!
