Third and Fourth grade project- Secondary Colored Perspective Pumpkins.
To begin the project we discussed how the primary colors (red, yellow, blue) make the secondary colors (orange, green, purple) when mixed together. I also introduced perspective and how artists use it to show that objects are closer or further away.

I'm not sure which blog I got the idea for this project from. First the students drew in pencil, then they went over their lines in black crayon. The colors they used were only the secondary colors and black. The sky was the first to be colored with chalk pastels, then the grass, then the pumpkins. The last thing that they did was the shadows for the pumpkins in black chalk pastel.
I laminated the pictures when they were completed. I think the heat from the lamination machine really did wonders for the chalk...it made the colors so vibrant and bright!
I loved this one because it looks very abstract. |
