Activity #1 Open to a new page in your sketchbook. Divide your paper into 4
Square one: Impressionist style!
In your first square, take three different coloured greens. Use each pastel and make small, short diagonal strokes. Fill the square so there is no white. Do not be afraid to overlap your strokes. .

3. Square 2: Mixing Colours
Pick two other colours. Use the whole square and mix the colours using longer, broader strokes. Use your finger or a blending tool to mix the two colours so there is no white showing.

4. Square 3: Blending
Take your pink and purple pastels. At the bottom of square one start with your purple pastel. Slowly blend into your purple into pink. Use your finger or a paper stump to help you.

5. Square 4: Using White
Try using different strokes with a pastel of your choice. Now use another colour. Take your white and blend the colours with white on top.

6. Activity #2
We worked a little with perspective. Today, you are going to create a landscape using perspective. Your pastels will be your medium for this composition.
Now turn to a new piece of paper and follow these steps…
