Change it up!



     It's always fun to explore pastel and collage, but why not mix it up and use a different background? Such a seemingly small change from white rectangular shaped paper to black squares can be like night and day.



     These explorers started with shiny, metallic pastels, which show up nicely against the dark paper. They could also collage with colorful glue.



     They were then given the choice to add
gold, bronze, and silver paints to their artworks. 
Although the media stays the same, a slight change
in how materials are presented can allow young
artists a different experience. They inherently
welcome change as an opportunity to explore the
materials in new and different ways.
