Today is the first day of autumn, so I am putting up a collection of fall-themed art on my Virtual Fridge to celebrate. And I'm pretty sure that sometime today I'll find a way to enjoy something pumpkin spice, apple cider, or maple flavored.
Leaf rubbings are a great simple project for early in the fall - before the leaves get too crunchy!
I saw this idea at a student art exhibition a couple years ago, and we still haven't made our own, but it's on my wishlist. The tree trunk is made from a brown paper bag, and the leaves are puzzle pieces painted orange and yellow.
This was a leaf drawing in chalk pastel that Kennady made a couple years ago. Can you tell that it's made from a hand tracing? (Featured here: Virtual Refrigerator - Autumn Leaves)

More chalk pastel autumn art.
Probably my favorite autumn piece - based on a work by Gustav Klimt. You can see the entire artist study and how-to post here: Virtual Refrigerator - Gustav Klimt

And of course - pumpkins! Here are a couple of pumpkin drawings from the past.
