Now that you've got your Halloween Bulletin Board up you are ready to get started on some Halloween art with your students...
Confession:
I keep a Word document saved on one of my USB's that's titled "art for the year". It's something that I came up with years ago in my very first year of teaching. At this point I know I liked grades 4-6 best and figured I would hang around these grades for years. Since I love art and want my students to have great art classes I quickly planned out what we would do at different points in the year for art (with multiple options in case one goes quicker than usual or I end up teaching the same kids the following year). This way my art lessons art already "planned" out for me and I just need to pick which one we will do!
I haven't updated it in a while but here is what I have listed under "Halloween"
Here is a Halloween writing and art activity I did once while subbing.
Unfortunately I couldn't actually find any examples of artwork that my students had done for Halloween but if memory serves me correctly I have done the Northern Lights one before.
If you are wondering why none of my examples have witches or other typical Halloween characters it's because I tend to steer clear of them based off my own preference and at the school I used to teach in a lot of the parents probably wouldn't have liked it. I figured these art activities would be "safe"
What are some examples of Halloween art activities you've done in your classroom?
