Ok! So I'm super excited about how these are turning out. The first day the kids were working was the day of drawing from observation. I collected tons of different gourds, and some pictures as well, so that they would begin to notice just how many different colors, sizes, and textures are possible.
Students were encouraged to draw their pumpkins and gourds overlapping.
Once done with drawing, we used clear Elmer's gel glue to outline the drawings. They dried beautifully, with nice, dark lines.
Day 2 was used to color. We used oil pastels and talked about analogous colors for blending. To help kids remember what "analogous colors" means, I described them as "friendly colors", or "colors holding hands".
Next step will be to finish up and jazz up the backgrounds! Happy art making :)
