Okay, it's really going to help you if you check out Mona Brookes' "Drawing for Older Children and Teens". It gives so much information to help you get started. But, as I said, when we started drawing -- way back when -- we started doodling. Give the students markers and pens and allow them to experiment. You can't do it wrong. And, just like I do with all student artwork, I mount and display the work. Pastels are an unusual treat in my classroom. I never really used them much. But, I found them a fun tool to use with abstract experimentation. The red, yellow, and blue abstract on the previous page was made with pastels.
