Crayon Resist Art

For our last art lesson I did crayon resist art.  I knew my year 1/2 class had done that before so it would not take a lot of explaining in regards to technique.  Because in science we are studying water I set them the task of creating an underwater scene.

I found an example of this at Mrs. Browns Art:

To challenge them I spoke about perspective and how drawing something in a different size can make it look further away.  I stood up in front of the class and showed them how tall I was, then I walked to the other end of the class and they all said 'you look smaller!'.  They had fun with that concept and I loved some of the pictures they drew.
