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.
