Pastel Cactus

I absolutely love pastels and the bold effects you can create with this luminous medium, especially on black paper.  Students grades 2-5 worked on these beautiful cactus learning value with light and shadow.  Thank you to Art Projects for Kids for the project idea.  They worked with pastel, but used a black oil pastel to emphasize some of the lines.  I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I did.  Kids are such fabulous artists!
