Art Project Autumn Art Lesson Fall Fox Artwork October September Art Activity

This Fall Fox Art Lesson is an autumn animal art project for grades 1 to 4. Students create a cozy fox character with a scarf, facial details, falling leaves and a textured autumn background.

Along the way they explore animal drawing, shape, line, texture, layering and artistic decision making. The lesson comes with a warm-up hook, an autumn reading page, a rubric, reflections, peer feedback and an artist statement, so it works for art teachers, classroom teachers, homeschool families and sub plans.
