Pastel Techniques

Tena koutou Ruma Rima,

Yesterday we watched the you tube clip to learn more about different ways to use pastels.
We learnt that there are different techniques to help us to:

• blend different colours
• blend shades (light and dark) of a colour
• create different textures with pastel

 Please could you watch the  clip again so that you understand these techniques more.                       Click here to watch:

Pastel Techniques

We are about to develop our ideas for our 'Room 5 Bathers' drawings, and you will need to think about which techniques yoou could use with these pictures.

(You could practice if you are at school early, if you have finished your work, or if it is a wet  break time.)

What techniques can you see in this drawing?

Can you share with our class something new that you learnt about drawing with pastel.  How do you think using pastel is different from using paint?  Which technique would you like to practise so you get better at using it?
