In the California Standards for Art, the Second grade standards ask that you teach the theory of creating a work of art that exhibits the illusion of space.
In this lesson I wanted the first graders to get a feel of what they will be learning in future projects by using one of the most basic techniques in creating space in a work of art.

Overlapping shapes allow the viewer to feel as if there are objects that go back further in the art,
as opposed to flatly being placed next to each other. This lesson asks the students to use rulers to draw various shapes of their choosing, then draw other shapes overlapping over the original shapes. Students switch using the pencil and ruler to now erase part of the other shape to create an effect as if one shape is in front of the other.
The second stage to this project was to explore the world of oil pastels. Oil pastels are oneof the best ways to teach students how colors work. Once a child soaks up the information of how oil pastels mix, color theory is applied into the rest of their lives.
I tried to focus on how students should use more than one color of oil pastel on top of each other, then use their fingers to blend the colors together.
Finally, students use watercolor resist technique to fill in the shapes.
Be on the lookout for the result to this lesson in which the students will use texture painting to add a inter-weaving set of tree branches and transform this painting into a beautiful tree.
