First graders are getting excited about Thanksgiving and all the festivities involved. For this project we used a major symbol of Thanksgiving- the pumpkin- to learn about perspective and texture.
Perspective can make the same object look different, depending on what angle you are looking at it from. For example, the top of a pumpkin looks much different than the side view.

Texture is all around us. It is the way something feels. Texture is important because it can show us how something feels before we touch it. Texture can even help protect us because if we are able to use visual clues to see the different textures of porcupines and bunny rabbits, for example, we will know which one we'd rather pet.
Once our textured perspective pumpkins were complete, we cut them out and glued them to layered paper to create a still life collage.
