Second Grade Fall Layers

So I broke out the extremely messy chalk for my second grade art class. This lesson originally came from the blog, Art Projects for Kids, http://www.artprojectsforkids.org/2007/12/fall-pastel-landscape.html. Check out the link to see the steps to creating these works of art.

Even though my younger students find it hard to not end up covering themselves in chalk somehow, I love the end results of this lesson and do not want to give it up. My apologies to all the parents who had their kids come home with chalk-covered, used-to-be white shirts.

After much drawing, coloring, and blending, these are some of the final masterpieces created by my talented second grade...
