This is the last of the Wayne Thiebaud projects. Third graders drew the dessert of their choice with oil pastels, and painted over with watercolors. Simple and quick. And here's a while batch of them hanging up.
Actually oil pastels work even better, I think, unless you are looking for fine detail. Sometimes it's hard to get kids to press hard enough with crayons, but it's rarely a problem with oil pastels. Glad you like these!
My third graders just finished Wayne Thiebaud projects, but we created batiks using tempera paint (a technique I learned from Art is Messy). I love introducing his work to students, and they are always happy to create the most elaborately decorated cakes!

I've never tried a resist with oil pastels before, just crayons. I should give it a shot, these look great! (And I love Wayne Thiebaud!)
