The start of the school year is a hectic time, but it’s also a popular time for art projects and school fundraisers. At Original Works, we help teachers combine these two tasks with a variety of art-based fundraising programs that are easy to set up and administer. Student artwork is printed on high-quality magnets, mugs, mousepads and more, which are purchased by parents and families to raise funds for the school.
Looking for some inspiration for your autumn art projects? Here are a few simple ideas that are fun for all age groups and perfect for fall fundraising.
Autumn Art Project Ideas
Turkeys, pumpkins and autumn leaves provide endless opportunities for fall art fundraising project ideas, but we’ve included a few additional suggestions to help get your creative juices flowing.
Pumpkins A pumpkin-themed project is always fun, but if you’re looking for something a little different, check out Yayoi Kusama’s dotted pumpkins for a unique and fun twist on autumn.
Hot Air Balloons The gentle giants of the skies are ideal for an art fundraising project. With bright and beautiful colors, hot air balloons evoke imagination and inspiration for all grades.
Apples An autumn mainstay, and something all kids are familiar with, apples come in many colors and sizes. Apple art can include not only drawings of apples, but also stamp designs made from apples that are ideal for items like notepads, magnets and aprons.
Book Characters October is National Book Month, and book-themed artwork is a fun idea for elementary and middle school students. Creating an image of a character from their favorite book is a great way to spark imagination, and remind parents of special moments reading with their kids.
