3rd grade Oil Pastel faux Batik pumpkins

This week, 3rd grade is trying something new! I found this on A Faithful Attempt blog, and wanted to try it with our students! 

Here's how we created ours!

4th grade Dean Russo inspired Bengal Tiger

So, if you haven't figured it out by now...I just really look up to and admire Cassie Stephens! You'll see her name A LOT on this blog. She's a fellow Tennessee art teacher, and knocks folks socks off with her AWESOME lessons, FUN teaching style, and FANTASTIC wardrobe! I wanna be just like her, when I grow up! haha 

She really has helped revamp my "art teacherin'" (as she says) style, even after 13 years of teaching, and inspired me to create my own blog. With that said, here's another one of her super fun lessons we're going to try! We are the bengals, so this is a perfect lesson for my students to attempt! This project teaches them about elements of art, analogous colors, blending, and uses a new and different medium she's introduced us all to....Bingo Daubers!! 

Here's her original post-
