A Second Grade lesson using concepts of line, color, and
overlapping
The contrast of the white
Birch trees and the colorful

stand out in the picture.

trees by drawing
with a black oil
pastel
② Then color in the
trees using white
oil pastel
③ Add some lines
of different
colors into the
white trees to
add extra
interest. Don’t
add too many
④ Paint in
background using
Primary colors
only. Have fun
mixing the colors
to see what new
colors they make!
