Fall Still Life Art Project
By Color Me Creative Art Room
Bring seasonal art into the classroom with a Fall Still Life Art Project designed for grades 3–5. Students explore how artists arrange and observe real objects before creating their own autumn-inspired still life featuring pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and other fall items. The project combines drawing and painting while introducing important art concepts such as observation, composition, overlapping, placement, color, texture, and craftsmanship. Students begin by studying still life examples and planning their composition, then draw the objects using careful observation before adding color and painted details. This project works well as a fall seasonal lesson while still focusing on meaningful art skills that can transfer to future drawing and painting projects.
