I recently collaborated with my son’s first grade class to do a pastel painting.  I had the kids come up to the easel one at a time, and I handed them an pastel and gave them some instruction.  The picture that they did was auctioned off at a school art show to raise money for art supplies.  I’m so impressed with how well little kids listen.  All I did is smooth out a few edges with my finger- 95% of this pastel comes from the little hands of a fine group of six and seven year olds.  Great work everyone!  Here’s the pastel painting:

 

Here are the proud collaborators:

 

The pastel fetched $200 at the auction, a very respectable price!  I wish making art was always this much fun!
