Modifications:
For autism, have the students wear a medical glove with the chalk pastel. This will give the student an opportunity to shade and mix the chalk without them getting their hands dirty or touching a weird texture to them.
For gifted children, have the students add different things to their drawings. Let them use stickers, jewels, beads, glitter, anything that adds to the portrait, but doesn't take away from the oil or chalk pastels.
