Happy Halloween! These painted pumpkins were a hit with my first graders.
Every year I do some sort of pumpkin project with my students. Whether it is actually painting on little pumpkins or creating an oil pastel drawing, creating art based on the seasons is exciting for the kids.
These are similar to Artsy_T’s painted pumpkins.
We mixed our paints with a little bit of paper mache (Elmer’s Art Paste) to make them a bit more translucent. (Not a necessary step, but I like the effect.)
Then the students used ROYLCO Paint Scrapers
Finally, faces and stems were added with black, white, brown and green construction paper scraps. Always get out the scrap box to use up leftovers!
How about you? Are you doing any Halloween art with your kids?
