This is what I give my students at the beginning of the project to let them see what is required of them and how to best pace themselves. It also includes reflection questions for the students to complete after the project is finished.

THE PLAN
5 sessions; 50 minutes per session
1.) SWBAT create an Impressionist-style landscape using oil pastel.
1.) Drawing Paper (Any kind that you have that will support Oil pastel)
This resource is one way I assess students. This makes sure that students work EACH day of the project, because they get a participation grade for everyday they work, plus a separate final "creativity" grade
I've tried this project two ways:
1.) We all use oil pastel to directly copy an impressionist painting. (This version allows students to become confident in the technique, but doesn't require much creativity.)
2.) Students reinterpret a landscape photograph clipped from a magazine into an impressionist-style oil pastel drawing.
(This version allows students to become requires more creativity, but students may not feel confident in their ability to reinterpret the photograph successfully into Impressionist style.)

I like this. I think I will do both ways - first copy the impressionist work to gain confidence/knowledge of the style, then work from a photo as an individual project! Thanks for sharing!
