Help Buy New Oil Pastels For Some Deserving 8th Graders!

My Project

I have several projects that I've planned (hopefully) using oil pastels - a portrait, a still life, and a jungle/ rainforest. My class has been using the same oil pastels for 6 years. They are sad little nubs.

It would be so great to see them use new, bright, brilliant colors for these projects.

I love for them to experience new materials and create magical art!!

Oil pastels are so great to use in art because of the saturation of colors and the ease of blending. It is so fun!
