During this session, the teachers explore basic oil pastel techniques (blending, layering, pointillism, creating thin/thick lines) and apply them to create a few art projects. These projects are being demonstrated step-by-step and can be adapted to any grade level to address a variety of learning styles. Composition, design and color will be examined as well to guide the participants find their own inner artistic talents. All the supplies are included (oil pastels, cardstock paper, watercolor paper, liquid watercolor paint, templates). The session fee is $10. Seating is limited to 35 participants; please email Christina at
