As an art teacher I often use oil pastels. It is actually one of my favourite mediums when teaching children. I love how rich and vibrant the colours are and how easy they are to apply. I love how you can blend them and add other mediums like ink over the top to create a unique work of art. Not to mention they are great if you are on a tight budget. They are quick to set up and one of the least messy art materials you can use.

​

This  lesson has been inspired  by Henri Matisse’s ‘The Goldfish’. I love the composition and the variety of colours he uses.

I absolutely loved doing this art lesson with my students. I loved how each child made this their own design. The colours were rich and vibrant and so unique.
