Halloween Spooky Houses are a yearly favorite here!!! Watercolor/ wax resist Halloween art lesson for 2nd- 8th graders can be adapted for at-home learning or in-school learning. Easy to teach remotely and easy to follow directions for parents and teachers.
Students can follow along using any materials they have on hand. The spooky house drawing can be simplified for the younger grades and made more challenging for older grades, and can even be used for STEAM art projects, by implementing architecture elements.
Spooky Houses is my top downloaded lessons, each year.

Materials: watercolor paper, black & yellow Crayola oil pastels, Prang Watercolors, pencil, eraser, large watercolor brush, water cups.
We draw out a simple haunted house. I give them options through each step to create different spooky house shapes. We draw the hill and the moon. Then fill in the moon and windows with yellow oil pastels. Fill in the spooky house, hill and tree with black oil pastel.
***When we use the Watercolors I only allow them to use limited colors, to avoid a big mess of the watercolor palettes and sometimes they need to be used in other classes. For instance, I’ll let one grade use blue and purple, then another grade level will use red and orange. It keeps the watercolor sets from getting gross.
For this lesson we were limited to blue, purple and magenta. We fill the colors with water and do a quick wash throughout the sky.
This lesson always comes out stunning! Read more from my original post here
