Description: First, the students learned some new techniques with the oil pastels and got an opportunity to practice them. Some of them were; controlled scribbling, blending, and engraving with a paper clip. Then the teacher modeled all the steps of drawing the turtle and we followed along. We then had to add some geometric shapes to the inside of the shell. Once we had the whole turtle drawn, we had to color the whole thing using three of the oil pastel techniques we used. Then we outlined the whole turtle with our black oil pastel. Lastly, we cut our turtle out.
Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I would have the students make a whole oceanic scene with the oil pastels instead of just one big turtle. They would still have to use three of the oil pastel techniques. The scene could include anything you would find in or near the ocean. I think this would give the students a way to be creative and expand on a topic or idea. They then would mount it on a piece of construction paper.
