I chose dinosaurs as my after school oil pastel project today, wondering if I would get any objections from my female students. Well, not only did they make some of the prettiest and pinkest stegosauruses you ever saw, one girl proceeded to rattle off more dino facts than I have ever heard before.1. Students followed my drawing, starting with the back, then belly and legs. The triangle plates were added last, starting with small ones at the end and large in the middle.2. All the pencil lines were traced with a black Sharpie marker.3. All the shapes were colored in with Portfolio® Oil Pastels.Thanks so much to Kaylee, a talented first grader who made this amazing drawing today!
