Fall Corn by 1st Grade

We talked about the colors of fall and the shape of corn and how the field corn came in different colors. We drew corn together after discussing which way horizontal lines went and then which way vertical lines went. I gave them long pieces of paper and we drew the shape of corn, filling in horizontal and vertical lines with oil pastels. They then could use any colors they wanted with watercolor to fill in their corn and backgrounds. They might look like pineapples and carrots, but these corn paintings are the most beautiful, fun corn paintings I have ever seen. :)
