In Kindergarten, we had learned about the warm colors through many different projects. One of the projects dealt with the field trip that their classes took to the Rocca Berry Farm pumpkin patch. Students talked about what the pumpkins looked like- the outline wasn't a perfect circle or a straight line. We worked together to create a drawing of a pumpkin, then we put the warm color paint inside of the drawing. Students were allowed the ability to mix together the warm colors within their pumpkin, this was a lot of fun for them.
We then started to create the background on the second day. We talked about the cool colors and how they can be used to create a background. Students painted with purple and blue in the sky and green for the grass. We used some scratching with our brush end to create line designs in our sky and ground. The next day students cut out their pumpkins and glued them onto their painted backgrounds.
Here are some of our warm color pumpkins:
