Celebrating traditions and holidays is fun, but should educational time be used to do so? I&rsquo;ve felt that holiday projects can be done at home; art education is another level of teaching and shouldn&rsquo;t be used for crafts. I recently read, &ldquo;When art is relegated to creating stereotypical holiday decorations, it cannot fulfill its vital role in children&rsquo;s creative growth&rdquo; (Wachowiak &amp; Clements, 2001. Emphasis art &ndash; a qualitative art program for elementary and middle schools. p. 9, para. 3). I like to incorporate art education in conjunction with coordinating traditions where applicable. In October, introducing Yayoi Kusama is a great way to use a fall theme of pumpkins while combining art skills and focusing on the element of Scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"1000\" data-id=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image_PumpkinLessonPlan.jpg\" alt=\"Yayoi Kusama Pumpkin Lesson Plan\" class=\"wp-image-489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image_PumpkinLessonPlan.jpg 755w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image_PumpkinLessonPlan-227x300.jpg 227w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Image_PumpkinLessonPlan-725x960.jpg 725w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

Cut three widths of dowels in 6-8 inch lengths. Run a marker over the midde of each size for easy visual separation.

Print a pumpkin outline on card stock paper. I prefer printing on a few colors: hot pink, yellow, cyan and purple. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3. Have a small amount of black or white tempera paint in small cups. I like to have 15 of each for a class of 30 students. Refill for the next class. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4. Have construction paper options on a table for students to select once they are done paiting. I like to have this table at the front of the room easy for students to see what is waiting for them and that they need to be done with painting first.

I use two cookie sheets to gather the supplies. Organize artwork on the drying rack by table so it&rsquo;s easy to file in Table Folders later. (See Table Folder explanation here.) Students can hang up a paint apron and select a background color for their pumpkin. Have cut-out scraps in the recycling bin by the table so students can see what their pumpkin will look like in contrast to the background. (For example, a pink pumpkin against different color options.) Students return to their seats to (1) write their name on the back of the paper and (2) make a design on the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Moving artwork to table folders for final assembly\" class=\"wp-image-503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-546x728.jpg 546w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-360x480.jpg 360w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-240x320.jpg 240w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Kusama_DryingRackByTables.jpg 825w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -

Place an Avery label on the back of each background paper. (<a href=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/index.php\/2023\/09\/02\/avery-labels-connecting-classroom-learning-to-home\/\">See Avery label post for more information HERE<\/a>.)When dry, the painted pumpkins should go in table folders for easy distribution next week. Glue the dried pumpkins to the background at the beginning of class next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Finishers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An option for early finishers is to make another pumpkin for absent students. If they are not interested, use the extra paint at the end of class to make some extras so they are ready for students to select from next week &ndash; saving time and allowing them to jump into the project with the rest of the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supportive Literature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the pptx, there are links to read-aloud stories for early finishers. This is a great way to reinforce the information about Yayoi Kusama for all students while the teacher supports students. Students who are still working continue working while listening, and early finishers can watch the read-aloud book from their seats. I have yet to have time for both books, but here are two to choose from: <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QSAM6d\">Yayoi Kusama Covered Everything in Dots and Wasn&rsquo;t Sorry by Fausto Gilberti<\/a>* and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3QW3V0r\">Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity! by Sarah Suzuki and Ellen Weinstein.<\/a>* (* These links are Amazon affiliate links for your convenience.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Yayoi Kusama Covered Everything in Dots and Wasn't Sorry book\" class=\"wp-image-532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/brightartlessons.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Book1_YK.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw -
