Shiny Holiday Object Drawings in Oil Pastel

 


For our final project before the Christmas break, my Grade 7-9 students chose any shiny holiday themed object to draw. The focus as to get a nice sharp highlight to showcase the object's shiny or reflective surface. Candy canes were obviously popular, but some students tried something a bit more challenging. 




They started off by drawing their object on lilac construction paper.


Then they used a white oil pastel to draw a thick line of highlight 
down the center of the object.


Then they coloured in the rest, using two similar values: one light and one darker, on the edges.


Finally, they cut it out and glued it onto black paper.


A lot of kids didn't manage to finish in time unfortunately but here are some that did!
