Oil Pastel Sky Line

For this project, we were first introduced to the architecture of Frank Gehry. We were shown examples of buildings that he designed, and asked to pick out a few of our favorites. We were then allowed to draw and cut out 3 of our own building designs that we used to design our own landscapes. To create the actual project, we used out building templates and traced them onto construction paper using oil pastels. We then smudges the outlines with our fingers to create a glowing effect.

For an extension activity, I could use this same idea but with tessellations, and see if my students could design buildings or a landscape with shapes that fit together perfectly. They could then blend the shapes together with their fingers to create the same effect as we did here.
