3rd Grade Pumpkins

11/7/2019

Mrs. Nuttall's 3rd grade class is ALMOST done
with their warm/cool colored pumpkins!
Our steps for this project were:

Practice drawing pumpkins.
Discuss foreground vs. background and overlapping items to create depth.
Layout final pumpkin painting with pencil.
Blend WARM colored oil pastels to fill the pumpkins.
Use COOL colored Kwik Stix to "paint" the sky.
"Paint" with tissue paper to fill the grass area.

Next time, final touches will be added, and the tissue paper will be removed to show the "tie-dye" style effect underneath. So far, they are beautiful works of art! Click on the images below to enlarge.

Due to an abundance of snow days, one of my two 3rd grade classes is ahead of the other. For this reason, I found this adorable lesson from an amazing fellow art educator @2art.chambers (check out her amazing Instagram) to complete with Mrs. Veeser's class today. Check out the process photos below, and completed projects as well. Click on the images directly below to enlarge.

The 3rd grade class recently completed Zentangle Pumpkins! The pumpkins were drawn, finalized in sharpie, and finished with watercolor paint. The pumpkins are filled with warm colors, the background with cool colors, and a neutral color for the base.

The 5th Graders completed a one day project for Dia de los Muertos or "Day of the Dead" which is a traditional Mexican holiday. We discussed basic information about the holiday, and then students had the chance to design their own sugar skull. See their results below.

These abstract projects were created by 3rd Graders in the style of Wassily Kandinsky. We chose an analogous color scheme to work with.
Students used black sharpie, watercolor paint, and oil pastel. When complete, we "mounted" them on construction paper for a finished look!
