Halloween Clip Arts

Need a fun and educational Halloween project for your elementary school children or students? Begin this art project by reading Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Even 5th graders still love to be read to and some may not have had the pleasure of being exposed to this classic children's book. Make sure the children are close enough that they can enjoy the amazing illustrations in Wild Things.

For this art project you will need:

  • black paper
  • oil pastels

After reading Where the Wild Things Are, ask the children to talk about the monsters in the book. What makes monsters bodies different from our bodies? Talk about the claws, the teeth, the fur, the tails, and the textures of these wonderful illustrations by Sendak.

Black Paper

Using the black paper, children are exposed to using a different background color for beginning a work of art. The oil pastels are a wonderful medium to use on top of black paper as the opaque color really looks good on the dark substrate.
