Are your middle school students obsessed with Harry Potter? Connecting to pop culture is always one of the easiest ways to get students engaged.

Depending on your students you could do straight monochromatic, or if they are a little advanced you could lean into analogous color schemes.

While canvas and acylic are shown here, I imagine these could be quite beautiful with chalk pastels as well. Interested in the lesson plan and presentation? Check it out here.
