Students produce their own meaningful Yayoi Kusama inspired pumpkin drawing design. This activity can be used for Key Stages 2 and 3 and is designed to engage students in mindful use of the Formal Elements, particularly poignant for Mental Health Week as Kusama has, and continues to have issues with her mental health and uses her art to support her well-being.

I usually print this resource on A3 cartridge paper and my students work directly onto the sheet, but this could be printed A4 also if desired. I have created many other drawing sheets of varying subject matters. These can be found in my Artyfind shop.

A resource for art students to support moving into a new year group or room and familiarising themselves with the class rules.
