Glowing Pumpkins

Our third graders have been "playing" with oil pastels and chalk pastels, added some bling (gold crayon) and created some super cool glow-in-the -dark pumpkins.

We started with a black sheet of paper, outlined the pumpkin with black oil pastel and then filled it in with yellow and orange. Students then added a bit of gold on the top to give it some shimmer.

Next they outlined the pumpkin with a white chalk pastel and gently smudged the edges.
Last they used a while oil pastel and added a while zig-zag line around the pumpkin to make GLOW>
Add some stars and maybe a moon and you have some very amazing glowing pumpkins.

GREAT job guys!!!
Some of the best glowing pumpkins Milpitas has ever seen :)

GREAT fun with the 3rd grades and another successful super spookable Art Attack on Curtner Elementary.
