Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

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.

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.

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.

And one year we made cute colorful turkeys.

Here is a large thankful turkey bulletin board we made one year.

And here is a fun “gratitude turkey” art project!

Whatever you decide to do on Thanksgiving, enjoy your day off!
