First & Second graders were able to use their previous knowledge of values, hue, tint, and shade to create a fruit still life drawing with oil pastel. Students were able to make the connection that tints could be used to show light reflecting off of a subject, and shades could be used to create shadow. I was so happy with how these turned out! Creating art that looks more three dimensional is difficult - but we're learning the phrase, "You have to practice to get better!" in art, and the kids are really taking ownership of their practicing. Sometimes during "free time" I'll see kids drawing fruit using light and shadow and they'll excitedly approach me saying, "Look! I'm getting better!" Love it.
