After Thanksgiving, I had plenty of leftover centerpieces! I used the gourds from around my class to not only teach 7th graders what a gourd is, but to talk about drawing from life.
Each student made a view finder, and drew a section of the still life. The gourds were drawn with pencil first. We erased the pencil lightly and then used oil pastels to go over the work. The pastels create a resist for watercolors and created a neat effect! This was just a one day lesson over being resourceful, drawing what we see, and color mixing.
