In this case I suggested making their apple the size of their fist. That helped with the size of all the fruits. When I am using oil pastel I almost always use cardstock from Staples or plain white sulfite drawing paper. I don't think I have every tried this technique on watercolor paper.Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370879428515287328.post-34197316667979783302014-02-19T06:17:01.805-08:002014-02-19T06:17:01.805-08:00I'm trying this now with my 2nd and 3rd grader...I'm trying this now with my 2nd and 3rd graders. I'm having a problem getting them to draw the fruit the right size. I'm getting cherry sized apples!! We're using watercolor paper. It's thick enough so there isn't many dark oily spots everywhere.

I have been teaching in elementary for 30 years--mostly first graders. Then I was put into the 5th grade art room 7 years ago! I love art--had always included it in my classrooms, but am not formally trained in it! I have found such joy in the learning of the ways to create and share that with kids. It's been and continues to be a great journey-- bit your blog and all of those who respond have taught me so much. I simply can't get enough!, love this lesson and will b doing it this year for sure. You not only teach the kids--but you bring learning to those of us Out here in blog land.

We actually looked at Matisse and Renoir along with Cezanne for this lesson. Unfortunately this was one of those "make-up" lessons (the last session with me for the year for these groups) and had to be done in 45 min. It was quite a time constraint. We didn't get to do half of the shading I had originally planned -- oh well, next time:))Christie - Fine Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418114130566362780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1370879428515287328.post-57235734223798407232012-04-19T20:37:16.402-07:002012-04-19T20:37:16.402-07:00I love the way they look and the materials you use...I love the way they look and the materials you used. I think if I tried this I'd set up a couple of fruits on each table so that each student has a slightly different composition.<br /><br />Another thought - it would be a great tie-in with Cezanne and color theory, and then perhaps I'd have the kids shade with the COMPLEMENT instead of with black. They can see that Cezanne used complements in his paintings.
