Haunted house in the moonlight

Made by a student of grade 6
You need:
  1. white drawing sheet A4 size 
  2. black construction paper
  3. yellow chalk pastel
  4. scissors
  5. cutting knife
  6. lijm
  7. white pencil
  8. black marker
  9. blue and purple tempera paint
  10. sauzer
  11. sponge
This lesson is all about Halloween and haunted houses. First make a word web about haunted houses: skeletons, spiders, bats, old, tombstones, dark, scary, etc.

Tear a strip of black paper from about 5 cm and paste it on the bottom of the white sheet: the ground. Draw on black paper ahouse that looks old and cut it out.


Use a cutter for doors and windows. Paste the house on the white sheet. Draw details such as bricks, ghosts, spiders, webs with a white pencil. Use a black marker to draw things in the white window openings.
Cut a circle, the moon, from a scrap of paper and lay it on the work. Outline moon and house with a yellow chalk pastel and smudge the chalk outwards. 


Use a sponge piece to stamp the background with purple and blue tempera paint. Do not get too close to the yellow chalk. Finally paste the artwork on a yellow background sheet.
