Fall Art Lessons
I really enjoy delivering Fall art lessons. It’s a good idea to get students to respond to the world around them and a great excuse for observational drawing and colour mixing. The resources below encourage both of these skills.
Wonderful Winter Squash
The winter squash images below are so Autumnal and beautiful. They could inspire all manner of drawing and painting projects. Aren’t the colours amazing? There are 20 images in this set.
The winter squash grid drawings below are useful to have in your bank of resources and can be printed off at a moments notice!
Collaborative Zendoodle Fall Wreath
The collaborative Zentangle autumn wreath activity below fosters teamwork while creating a visually stunning display. Your students could work as a whole or in groups.
Painting & Colour Mixing
Bring the beauty of Fall into your classroom with the simple, autumnal mushrooms art lesson below! Designed for students of all ages, this lesson allows students to practice colour-mixing and gradation.
What makes the fall art lesson below so useful is the good example of painted leaves that is included. Some of the leaves are painted using just ‘wet on wet’ and two have had ‘wet on dry’ applied over the top. What a great excuse to introduce your students to these ways of working.
Collaborative Fall Art Lessons
The fall leaves collaborative art lesson below, is a great resource if you want to introduce some group work and teamwork skills to your curriculum. The lesson plan suggests using watercolour and/or coloured pencils for the detail.
Mesmerising Maple Leaves
The ‘Autumn Maple Leaves’ art lesson below was made in response to a request from a fellow art teacher. Students work wet on wet and the ‘good example’ that is included lets students know exactly what you want them to achieve.
Observational Skills
The fall leaves art lesson below is great for improving your student’s observational drawing skills. These leaves contain so much detail that they will stretch your most able students whilst the grid supports lower ability students.
Teaching Supportive Watercolour
The resource below is designed to focus on practising watercolour skills. As a faint image of the leaf is already in place, students don’t need to draw, but just focus on painting instead. It’s a great way to build confidence.
Drawing in Colour Autumn Art Activity
You have the choice with the fall art lesson below, to ask your students to draw with pencil, coloured pencils or watercolour. It’s a versatile resource with inspiring, high-resolution images. Students can use the edge of the box to help them create an accurate drawing.
Fall Details for Autumn Art Activities
You will be able to create a variety of fall art lessons with the download below. The download gives students a wide choice or images to draw and paint, and of course, they can add these images to their sketchbook pages too.
