Oil pastel art unlocks creativity for students, as drawings come to life with rich colors and interesting textures. Kurtz Bros. offers an exciting range of the best oil pastels for classrooms, which have been tried and approved by teachers and students.
We stock various oil pastel collections for students of all ages and abilities. Featured products for each level include:
Beginners: Easy-grip Maped Triangular Pastels give younger students confidence while working with creamy pastels for the first time. The unique shape makes them simple to apply precisely, allowing students to blend and experiment with the medium.
Intermediate levels: Rich neon colors make Crayola Oil pastels for school an ideal medium for intermediate and experienced artists. This collection's vibrant lime, magenta and violet shades breathe new life into traditional pastel artwork.
Seniors or experienced artists: Premium-quality Goldfaber® Studio Oil Pastels are perfect for detailed portraits and landscapes where blending, mixing and laying give dimension to the work. Older students and professionals appreciate the quality and smooth application of these rich pigments.
Oil pastels are a forgiving medium that boosts confidence. More sophisticated than wax crayons but less messy than paint, they are ideal for many classroom projects and activities. While oil pastel art for students may seem messy at first, it's easy to manage with a few simple cleanup techniques.
The following oil pastel ideas are both educational and fun:
Abstract art: Encourage students to create their own versions of Picasso's Cubist works or experiment by adding geometric shapes in vivid colors to their compositions.
Color mixing: Teach children about colors by layering different shades and encouraging them to create new tones.
Still life drawing: Bring art classes to life with vibrant oil pastels that are easy to use and can be stored quickly after each lesson.

We can meet or exceed your schools' expectations. You won't receive the same level of attention from one of the large, national companies. We are big enough to service your schools, and small enough to care about you.
It's our goal to service educators with products that benefit you and enable education to be both an enlightening and enjoyable experience for your students.
It's a win-win strategy and we have always abided by our long-term motto "Our word is our bond."
