WHAT YOU’LL NEED:– Black oil pastel– Black paperStarting with a black oil pastel and a piece of black paper, I had the children draw rolling hills, rounded mountains and finally, a sun/moon with concentric circles.I encouraged the children to press hard with their oil pastels. Next, I brought out boxes of chalk pastels. Because the chalk was new, the colors were already divided into warm and cool colors. Easy! But if you have a hodge podge of colors, review what makes a cool color and what makes a warm color.Now the kids have a choice. They can either color the mountains with warm or cool colors and then the opposite with the sky. Cool colors turn the sky into a night sky, warm colors turn it into a daytime sky.Finally, the last and most important step, trace over the oil pastel lines again with the black oil pastel. If you have time, add white highlights with white chalk.
