Fall Art
K-5 art students at King Elementary School have been exploring the many
colors, textures, and lines that the Fall season inspires when creating art.
Through the warmth of analogous color families like reds, red-oranges,
oranges, yellow-oranges, and yellows, students utilized warm color with a
variety of media and technique. Nature in Fall offers many interesting
textures that students incorporated in both 2-Dimensional and 3Dimensional work. A visit to a pumpkin patch through a story helped
kindergarten and first grade students better see both form and line in
nature. A simple pumpkin vine is also a curvilinear line. Listed below are
the Fall art projects of King Elementary art students:

holiday typically celebrated November 1st and November 2nd began in
Mexico but is now celebrated in various Latino communities throughout the
world. Dia de Los Muertos remembers and honors loved ones who have
passed away through traditional community parades, music, dance, and
food.
