This was a peer taught lesson which focused on the technique of crayon resist. We used 9" x 9" paper for this project. For this lesson, we had to draw a flower. There were no specifications as to which kind of flower, it just had to be a flower. We got to choose between crayons or oil pastels to draw our flower. Then we got to draw our flower, which needed to take up the entire paper. When we colored our flower, we needed to color very hard and leave not white spots on the flower.
Once we were done coloring, we then took watered down tempera paint and brushed it all over our flower. Then we took a paper towel and brushed the paint off. It was important to do this quickly after you place the paint on the paper. You need to brush the paint of in the same direction that your flower petals go. If you don't, the paint will not brush off properly. Then let your picture dry.
An extension activity for this is to use it when doing a plant unit in science. The students can create the flowers you are talking about it class. You could also use it when talking about other plants such as vegetable plants for different types of trees.
