4th Grade Winter Deer

Each grade is creating some seasonal artwork at Buffalo Elementary. 4th grade artists drew a simple outline of a deer using pencil and added color using oil pastels. They each had a photograph of a young deer at their work space and I encouraged them to look like a scientist to try to record what they saw. We looked at a real branch of an evergreen tree and they used green and brown to add a few branches in the background. The final step was to blend a few cool-colored chalk pastels in the sky. I love the different expressions of each deer. Come check them out at the winter concert on Thursday, December 10 at Buffalo Elementary!
