Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving with the Peanuts gang!:

I searched for some fall art to inspire you and here are some gems that I found.

Norman Rockwell is always a winner.

I really love this folk art landscape by Walt Curlee.  This would be good to show students to demonstrate perspective and depth techniques.

How about this painting by Grandma Moses called Catching a Turkey?  Is it snowing yet by you?

Janet Fish has some amazing still lifes, including this pumpkin one.

and this one…

Do you have any fall or Thanksgiving themed famous art examples you want to share?

I’m digging these painted turkeys from Deep Space Sparkle.

A fun Thanksgiving arts and crafts project for kids that teaches boys and girls how to draw a turkey using easy techniques.:

I kind of like this nature-y turkey craft from Better Homes and Gardens.

Next year, I’m just going to set up a fall still life with things like pumpkins, scarecrows, gourds and see what the kids draw.  Here are some by Mrs. Knight’s Smartest Artists.

Here is a gratitude wreath project my students made a few years ago.

This is my daughter proud of all her Thanksgiving projects she made this year.  They did the hand paint turkey in her class and then she drew the two other ones on her own.
