Students are to create a fall scene. It can be a spooky Halloween scene or simply a fall picture. Students were given the choice of a landscape or still life. Almost all of them chose to do a landscape. Students were allowed to use any medium they wished, although I did expose them to chalk pastels and their advantages for large areas like backgrounds or foregrounds. I really wanted them to blend colors to create the illusion of depth rather than use the same color for their entire ground or sky.
