5th grade Endangered Species Oil Pastels


Fifth-graders used images of endangered species to work on transposition.  They each drew a grid on their photograph, then used those divisions to help break down their drawing process and create a more realistic likeness, using oil pastels on black paper.  Students also worked on using the qualities of their materials (oil pastels can create nice distinct lines) to show the texture of each creature’s fur, feathers, or skin.
