In this lesson students learned about the artist Jasper Johns and looked at several works that focused on numbers in art. Students were asked to write four letters and numbers into eight sections that students created by folding their paper. The other part of the lesson was studying warm and cool colors so students chose wither color oil pastel to draw their letter or number. The next week was all about the magic of oil pastel resist and looking at color wheels so they could try to use the opposite of their warm or cool color drawings and paint the background of the section with the opposite color. Students were amazed as they painted on top of the drawings with tempera cakes and watched the colors of their pastels show through the paint as the oil repelled the water based paint.
