Oops, I meant to post this one in October but time got away from me. Kindergarten and 1st grade students worked diligently making these awesome pumpkins. Students learned about color mixing and value as they drew from observation. We talked about the basic circular shape of a pumpkin and how there are ridges on the shell. We then mixed red + yellow to make orange by dipping the paint brush into both colors and letting the brush do the mixing on the paper. We strived to make each section of the pumpkin a different value of orange.
After the pumpkins dried, we then turned them into jack-o-lanterns! Students practiced their cutting and collage skills and spooked up their pumpkins.
We then placed the jack-o-lanterns onto a pumpkin patch and used oil pastels to create grass and wind.
