The peppermint was the 2/3 practice with different media. The peppermint was done with chalk pastel. I really DO NOT care for chalk pastel. It is messy and very annoying. I had never used it before but it will go everywhere if you put too much. We practice drawing the peppermint first with pencil to practice shading and giving great amount of detail. We only had a day to do this project. But when using chalk pastel you have to layer light to dark. Plus you have to be careful when coloring to not smug the art work. My artwork got smudge because I lifted it up to shake it off and I layered way too much. I will probably never use this media ever again because it take great patience... Something I do not have. Everyone at my table had struggled with this project so I wasn't alone. It was neat to learn something during art. It looked really fun when my art teacher was doing it. If I could change anything about the project is to make the peppermint bigger on the paper.
