Vincent Van Gogh is a Dutch painter who used bold colors and expressive strokes. In this project, we are using oil pastels on black paper to bring our art to life stroke by stroke.

Piet Mondrian created a series of paintings with the three primary colors: red, yellow, and blue, with thick black lines. In this project we are creating our own collection with oil pastels, inspired by his art.

Georgia O'Keeffe loves painting flowers! In this project, we will create a close up flower using oil pastels. You'll see how beautifully they blend with Q-tips for a smooth look.

Let's create a heart inspired by the famous Van Gogh we learned about with bold expressive strokes using oil pastels! For our Let's Make Art Matter postcard this month, think about someone in your life who is creative. Being creative can mean lots of things like drawing, cooking, signing, dancing, or writing and we want to celebrate that!

Calling all kids and grown-ups who are kids at heart: you're in for a fun treat! We're creating our very own DIY Scratch Art. Nicole will show us how to use our oil pastels to create the color background, then layer the black paint on top to make a magical canvas.
