Butterfly

Butterflies were our inspiration in art class today!  The students used the sight-size method of drawing at the easels to draw a butterfly in white pastel pencil on black paper. Then they used oil pastels to finish their beautifully colored butterflies. Lovely! Scroll through the slideshow to see a student working on her butterfly drawing.
