Swirly Trees in chalk pastels @ WBCL

Oh wow the swirly trees turned out really good! I had the kids draw them first with lots of swirling branches then block them in with black crayon. Next made a dozen or twenty circles with white crayon then the COLOR. They got to choose their own chalk pastel colors and make dual colored dollops and grass. A couple of the kids who came in late are finishing their branches at home but good work.
