2nd grade Chalk Pastel Lion Drawings





2nd graders have just completed their Chalk Pastel Lion Drawings, and they look fantastic! Chalk pastel can be a really tough medium to work with, especially with younger ones, but 2nd graders did a great job! It was a little tough at first, but we learned how to color very lightly with chalk pastels (using zig zag lines). We also learned how to overlap colors, and blend colors together using our fingers. We did a great job following directions to draw our lions - I showed students different possible ways of drawing lion parts and features, they chose their favorite and added a little creativity to make it their own. We also reviewed the concepts of the horizon line, filling the page with details and coloring neatly.
