FIFTH GRADE . . . The Art of Halloween

This week Fifth graders drew a scene in their sketchpads to represent the holiday of Halloween. We saw many ghosts, graveyards and pumpkins as everyone shared their sketches in class. Here is a wonderful pencil sketch by James of a pumpkin.

James was able to show us a candle glowing inside his pumpkin without using any color! James' favorite drawing tool has always been just a pencil and by simply shading certain areas, he made it possible for us to almost imagine the color in the scene.
