Fourth & Fifth Grade Doodle Pattern Pumpkins

In fourth and fifth grade, students explored the concept of patterns as they designed four of their own using simple shapes and lines in their sketchbooks. Next, students created a sketch of a pumpkin with their doodle patterns drawn in each section. Students then drew a large-scale version of their pumpkin, neatly incorporating their doodle pattern designs in each section of the pumpkin. Finally, students used a variety of colored pencils to fill in their pumpkins. Some students who had enough time created a background for their pumpkin using colored pencils or chalk pastels.

Second & Third Grade Pumpkin Face Collages

In second and third grade, students explored fall themes through class discussion and sketching their favorite fall activities in their sketchbooks. Students then drew and colored their own pumpkin. They cut and pasted black and white paper to create their unique faces. Some of the pumpkins have hats, earrings, and even unicorn horns!
