Eli Halpin Sheep

I stumbled across the oil paintings of artist Eli Halpin and thought that would be a great oil pastel and coloring mixing project for my first graders.  I showed them some of Halpin's paintings and the students really got a kick out of all the colorful animals.  We drew some sheep, colored them in with some colorful circles and added a different color swirl.  They turned out very cool and the students' loved them.  Eli Halpin's work can be found here: http://elihalpin.com/section/34051_RECENTLY_SOLD_PAINTINGS.html
