Oil Pastel Cityscapes

I'm so excited about this current project! I believe I got the ides off of Pinterest (that's where all the good ideas come from these days, right?) We are doing a simple cityscape using a sharpie and oil pastels. My kids have never used oil pastels before, so I was a little nervous about turning my K loose with them. However, they did an amazing job! We started out just with a sharpie marker. I instructed them to draw an arrow and make sure the line goes all the way to the bottom of the page. Then we finished the "building" by drawing two more lines down to the bottom from the outside of the slanted arrow lines. We then added several circles for the sky. My kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd are all doing this lesson. We also discussed cool colors and warm colors and then we used the cool colors on the buildings and the warm colors in the sky!
