Need an art activity that relates to Fall? How about the warm colored pumpkins on cool background squares that you see below? The third graders did a great job on this 3 week project.
Directions:
I had the kids divide their sheet by folding into 4 sections.
I gave them blue, purple, and green paint. I told them to add white and make tints.
I told them to paint each square with the tints.
In the following art class, they drew and painted a pumpkin.
When painting the pumpkin, I encouraged them to use several tints of orange.
Once our painting was complete, we outlined the pumpkins with sharpies and glued them on our cool color painting.
Have a look!
I like this pumpkin project. It does not just jump out at you with "Happy Halloween"or "Happy Thanksgiving". This is a Pumpkin "Pop Art" Project that includes lots of art basics, but I chose to focus on tints.
Is a pumpkin a vegetable or a fruit? My googling results seem to point towards fruit. What kind of fruit? Sit down, folks. A Pumpkin is a BERRY!
Speaking of Berries, here is Chuck Berry jamming with Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. Pretty cool jam session...
