Drawing of a Cornucopia
Cornucopia Tutorial Video
A cornucopia has lots of little elements to it, and the best way to approach drawing one is with layers. Students first draw what I call the basket in the back, then the largest pumpkin, then medium and so on. For that reason, remind your students before and during to draw LIGHTLY. It kind of goes against their nature at a young age, but with practice, can be done. All the required layers in this drawing mean that lots of inside lines will need to be erased. Light ones are always so much easier to remove than dark ones.
A cornucopia is a symbol of plenty consisting of a goat’s horn overflowing with flowers, fruit, and more. And as the season of thanks draws closer, it is a nice to time be thankful for what we have, especially if it is more than what we need.
