Yayoi Kusama Polka Dot Pumpkins

Second grade students studied the artwork of Yayoi Kusama, an incredible Japanese contemporary artist who uses dots obsessively in her art practice. The students learned how to draw three-dimensional pumpkins and then added color with oil pastels, watercolor, and markers. The students blew watercolor with straws to create their explosively colorful backgrounds. These wonderful artworks are a celebration of fall and of individual expression!
