My Artist Halloween
Step into the mysterious, playful, and wonderfully imaginative side of art history with our Halloween Artist Box for ages 6–18+! Young artists will explore spooky-inspired artwork from four unique artists while creating four completely different Halloween art projects of their own.
From a misty cemetery and dancing skeletons to glowing jack-o'-lanterns and a cabinet filled with curious treasures, each project introduces a new artist, artwork, and hands-on technique. Kids will experiment with watercolor, oil pastel resist, mixed-media collage, sculpture, and three-dimensional construction—all while discovering how artists across centuries have explored mystery, imagination, celebration, and the unusual.
Perfect for Halloween art lessons, homeschool art, or simply a creative October activity, this box combines art history for kids with hands-on Halloween fun.

Misty Mixed-Media Cemetery Landscape
Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's The Cemetery, young artists will create an atmospheric landscape using watercolor, fan-brush painting, torn-paper collage, and textured corrugated cardboard. Layered hills, misty trees, gravestones, and towering cemetery pilasters bring this mysterious scene to life.Login to Watch Video
Dancing Skeleton Characters Collage
Meet the calavera, the joyful dancing skeleton of Día de los Muertos. Inspired by Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada, young artists will build their own skeletons from paper sticks, posing them mid-dance or mid-song. Colorful paper squares and sequins make a festive border, while hats, instruments, and hand-drawn details give every skeleton a personality all its own.Login to Watch Video
Glowing Jack-o'-Lanterns Stack
Contemporary Halloween artist John Pelico stacks his jack-o'-lanterns high and sets them glowing in Pumpkin Pyre. Young artists will build their own using oil pastel resist for an electric blue glow against a dramatic watercolor background, then cut, stack, and decorate dark paper pumpkins into a tower of grinning faces.Login to Watch Video
Cabinet of Curiosities Diorama
What would you keep in a cabinet of wonders? Young artists will build a miniature one and fill it with strange and marvelous treasures — sculpting, painting, and inventing with clay, paper, tiny bottles, creatures, and gears — taking their cue from Domenico Remps's 17th-century Cabinet of Curiosities.Login to Watch Video
