Overflowing Harvest Cornucopia of Pears, Grapes, Corn and Wheat

A woven cornucopia spills out a heap of harvest food in this detailed line drawing. The basket is wrapped with bands of twisted vine and tied with loops, with leafy sprigs and small berries trailing across it. Spilling from the opening are a large round gourd with a curved stem, a pear with a bent stem, and a speckled fruit that looks like an apple or another round fruit. Bunches of grapes hang on the right, and a cob of corn sits near the middle with big leaves around it. A stalk of wheat and a curved root vegetable sit on the left. Fine hatching and stippling give the page lots of texture. Because the page is printable and free, a class could print several copies and compare crayon and colored pencil. Try warm browns for the basket, purple or green for the grapes, and yellow for the corn kernels. It also works well for talking about which foods are gathered at harvest time.
