3rd grade landscapes

 Third grade artists used crayons in a layering technique to create highlights and shadows and try to make our pumpkins look three-dimensional. We looked at photographs of real pumpkins and tried to recreate the textures found in the skin and in the stems. Lastly, we used liquid watercolors to paint our backgrounds a dark blue. Most students used this blue as a night-time sky; some chose to make it day time.
