Fantastic Fall-Themed Art Projects Your Teens will Enjoy
Who knew that a set of Fall Mixed Media art courses would be the perfect fall art projects for teens to include in our homeschool plans?
I love doing art with my kids and teens, but I need a little guidance to help me find the project ideas. Once I have a few good ideas, I am willing to gather the materials and participate in the fun, but it makes things easier when someone else makes the plan.
Thankfully, I was able to find the perfect Mixed Media projects for fall with all of the lesson planning and instruction included for me.
{I received the Fall Mixed Media Workshop in exchange for my honest opinion. I enjoyed it enough to request a second one. This post contains affiliate links. Read my full disclosure.}
Completing Art Projects with Teens
We love completing art projects in our homeschool and didn’t want it to end in the teen and tween years. I was determined to find art projects that were engaging and creative for my older kids.
I knew we would need projects that used a variety of art mediums and techniques to keep us interested as we created. We love to dabble in watercolor, sketching, pastels, acrylics, and more.
Finding this sort of variety in one art course was a complete surprise, but that is exactly what we found in the Fall Mixed Media Art Workshop.
What is the Fall Mixed Media Art Workshop?
The Fall Mixed Media Art Workshop is one of the many online courses offered by Alisha Gratehouse at the Masterpiece Society. It is an online mixed media video course that includes 20 Mixed Media projects.
It was the perfect solution for creative art projects for teens in our homeschool. Your family will complete fall-themed projects using a variety of art techniques:
Sketching
Acrylics
Watercolor
Chalkboard Art
Collage Art
Sculpting
Hand lettering
Art Journalling
And More!
Each project is unique and includes a complete video lesson to guide you through each project.
You also receive LIFETIME access to the course so there is no rush to go through all 20 projects in just one season. Our family completed just a handful of the projects this year and we will continue to work on the projects in future years.

Why we Loved these Fall-Themed Teen Crafts
Art Project Variety
Some days we use watercolor and other days we cut paper and get covered in mod podge. We have used white gel pens for design techniques and have experimented with a variety of “canvases”, including the cover of a children’s book.
Every project teaches us a new technique or idea that we can use again.
Flexibility for Individuals
We have been able to adapt our creations so that no two look exactly alike. It is very easy to personalize each project with your own paper choices, colors, or quotes.
One of my children is in private art lessons and she enjoys changing the colors and even the media used to create aspects of the project.
In the end, no two projects look the same. I love that each of my children can create their own interpretation of the ideas.
Clear Video Instruction
It is difficult for me to follow art instructions in a book or using a PDF so I am grateful for the video instructions. Alisha completes the entire project in front of the camera so there are no questions about how to complete a particular step in the process.
