Students really enjoyed this one. It was our first lesson using oil pastels.
I introduced the lesson with a power point to show pictures of real Banyan trees which are unique because they send out branches that grow straight down. When they touch the ground they take root.
We also talked about analogous colors which are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.
Process:
1. Students used a step by step handout to help them draw a banyon tree with multiple branches.
They were given the option of placing their tree near water which would produce reflections. Most chose to do this.
2. After the line drawing was complete. They painted the tree with black tempera paint. They also painted the reflection of the tree was by water.
3. Next they colored the background with oil pastel. This was an opportunity to introduce the concept of negative space whic is otherwise known as the background. Students were asked to blend two analogous colors in at lest 5 sections.
Another stunning collection of art. I Love the abstract quality of some of these.
