Yayoi Kusama Pumpkins

Yayoi Kunama is one of my favourite artists so I was very excited to try this project out with my 5-7 year old class. Below is an example of my work that I showed the students as an example. I began by covering my pumpkin drawing with polkadots using Q-tips. I think covered an entire page with oil pastels and then painted a layer of black acrylic. Once the paint had tried I carved triangles using a pushpin. I decided to allow the students to draw the triangles with oil pastels first and then painting back ink over the top in order to make the process easier and less time consuming for them.
