Beautiful Pumpkins with Golden Vines First Grade Lesson Plan

For this lesson we looked at pumpkins on the vine visuals on the projection screen. The kids were especially impressed by the giant pumpkins! Artists then drew with pencil on an orange half sheet of construction paper. We drew a long stem and tried to use up the whole paper. If the pumpkin had a bump or wasn't perfect that was even better!
We looked at the high light on the pumpkins in our visual and how it was darker near the bottom. We colored those details in with construction paper crayons. 
After cutting pumpkins out carefully, students glued onto black back ground and added a light source, moon or stars or both. 
Last and most favorite part was to paint beautiful, curly, golden vines coming from the stem.
