October is for Fall and fun with Masks!

Hey Y'all! We have learned or reviewed line, shapes, and patterns. Color and painting shapes is next. Fall trees are painted with warm colors- reds, yellows, and oranges on a cool colored background. Tissue paper reds and yellows can be overlapped to make orange. Fall Festivals with orange pumpkins abound. Orange pumpkins can be made with clay or papiermached with orange tissue paper or even orange construction paper around styrofoam balls flattened at both ends. Black construction paper cut into triangles and arranged
and glue into place to make jack-o'lanterns. For the older elementary and young middle school student a study of masks from around the world is appropriate at this time of the year. My latest posting on TPT is a group of such masks. This is a great time of year for creating art!
