Pumpkins with lights and darks

Here's the link above where I saw the original idea. The 3rd graders really enjoyed this project and it make them think about light and shadows. LOVE the construction paper crayons and really wish I would have ordered two big boxes this year!

Value & Shading

I found this idea at Mr. E's blog...great stuff over there! My only problem with the project was it way way too time consuming. This took us 4 weeks! Next year if I do it I will try a smaller size like 8x8. A great way to show deminsion in work and get the message across about value. I think everyone will be ready to move on to something new next week! Thanks again Mr. E!
