Realistic 2-D Pumpkins- Day One

These photos are from our first lesson painting 2-D pumpkins.  The focus was on holding a paintbrush properly in order to get the effect you want and color blending using watercolors.  Students were also encouraged to be creative in the shapes and bumps for sketches. The results are absolutely stunning and we've created a pumpkin patch in our classroom.  You'd never believe these were done by 6 and 7 year olds.  They can show you how at home.;)
