Unit Overview: Students created pumpkin zentangles using watercolor paint and sharpie in order to review line, shape, form and pattern. In order to help students review good craftsmanship, detail, and artistic creativity, I had students start off the year with a simple project. We drew pumpkins from observation and talked about how the lines of a pumpkin go from its stem to its bottom. This makes the lines look curved when drawn. Students then added pattern to create a zentangle.
For painting, students were given the colors on a color wheel. No black, no brown. I have noticed that students who aren't confident in their work tend to smear black or brown paint over their patterns to cover it up. Therefore, those colors were not available to them.
