While the older kiddos are working on Scarecrows and glowing pumpkins the little peeps are going wild and created their own AWESOME pumpkin patch in Room 17 over the last two weeks.
This was a two session project.
Last week the kids drew their pumpkins with black oil pastel, then filled in the pumpkins with RED paint.
They then applied YELLOW paint on top and turned their pumpkins ORANGE with some super cool color highlight effects.
We added BLUE to the mix and the kids colored their leaves in cool shades of green.
There were several lessons embeded into this fun exercise/project.
Again the kids learned abut primary and secondary colors, about shading, cutting is a big one and they mastered it VERY well and last but not least they had to assemble their collage on their own and added some final touches to make their own, unique piece of art.
This week they came back, super excited as always, and went to work to cut out their pumpkins and leaves and then arranged them on a black construction paper.
We gave them green oil pastel and white chalk pastel to add vines, stars and a moon.
et voila ...
Kinder Pumpkins in the Dark
The results are SO SUPER COOL and FUN to look at.
I'd love to cover all of the walls in Room 17 with these cute pumpkins but I know my little artists are super excited to bring these guys home to show them off to mom and dad.
Pumpkin Patch Mission completed in form of an orange Art Attack this time.
