The first graders learned about warm colors by painting a piece of white paper using only red, orange and yellow paint. While the paper was wet, we ran a popsicle stick through it creating lines. This taught us about visual texture.When the paper dried, we drew and cut out two large pumpkins. We glued the pumpkins to black paper and used brown paper/or green paper to cut out stems. Some students added some vines and leaves with green paper to create that "just picked off the vine" pumpkin. We finished them off with cutting out leaves using our scraps from the painted paper.
This project reinforced cutting skills as well as color mixing and texture. They turned out great - perfect for fall.
