Add a Ghost to a Vintage Painting

Turn an ordinary vintage painting into a one-of-a-kind Halloween masterpiece! In this creative and whimsical workshop, students will start with a vintage-inspired thrift store painting and imagine a playful ghost hiding somewhere within the original scene. Using acrylic paints and their own creativity, students will learn how to add the ghost so it feels naturally incorporated into the existing artwork.

Students will explore painting techniques such as blending, layering, shading, and creating highlights while learning how small changes can completely transform the mood and story of an artwork. They’ll have fun imagining who their ghost might be and where it belongs in the scene. The result is a charmingly spooky artwork that combines vintage nostalgia with a touch of Halloween magic!
