For some reason, that stands out for me. loved drawing with crayons on the large sheets of manilla paper-gigantic jack-o-lanterns, witches on broomsticks, bright yellow moons and large bats. It was all so much fun because Halloween didn't mean anything to us specifically-no evil or negative associated with it.
I think that artwork was one of the few things that brought happiness to me as a child.
Indeed it was my escape from the real world! Can't remember going trick or treating though.

Orange and black construction paper and crepe paper, tubs of library paste, and someone getting in trouble for eating the paste. Candy corn and apple cider treats.

I remember drawings like that. We'd also take black paper and draw those things on it, the bright colors showed up well. It didn't mean anything bad to us either, it was just Halloween. We carved jack-o-lanterns and we only went trick or treating in our neighborhood, since we always went to the Halloween party at grade school. We dressed in costumes, played games, had treats, and did cake walks. The parents sat in the gym drinking punch and we kids took the 'tickets' we bought and the played games. It was a really fun time for me too.

Yes. We drew pumpkins and black cats. There was always a full moon in the pictures and these were placed on the bulletin board outside the class room. Funny no matter how we tried, nothing we drew ever turned out ghoulish and macabre-like. And I remember that most of our costumes -were either a ghost, pirate, witch, or a Disney character like Cinderella or Snow White. There were a few wolfmen, Frankensteins, Draculas and mummies too! But none of those horrible mask they have today. I don't remember blood and gore when I went trick or treating.

Yes, I remember really well. I loved Art class in
elementary school. I also went Trick or Treating, we could go out for hours, Dad never had to worry about how far we walked, or whether our candy would be poisoned. It was a good time for growing up.

Hallowe'en has always been one of my favourite times of year. When my daughter was little ,I made popcorn balls for the class party and wrapped each one in waxed paper and tied the tops with orange and black ribbon. My daughter and I made Black cats, pumpkins and witches hats to adorn each popcorn ball. The teacher said the kids loved it. To day I heard on the news that some schools are going to ban Hallowe'en festivities because of the symbolism and call it orange and black festival! Hasn't political correctness gone too far?

Yes. Everything seemed to be tied into some sort of an art OR craft project when I went to school. I still have many of my childhood drawings & salt & flours maps tucked away in boxes! Art seemed to be an important part of childhood & learning back in my day too!

No but in High School art class. We got picked to put one of our drawings in paint on the windows of our neighborhoods shopping district store windows, then they gave out awards for the best painting. It was a big thing as everybody in the neighborhood that came to shop, got to see your art work, and you could say that is mine, I did that.

Still enjoy the treasures my son brings home from the 6th grade. They sure have changed from what we did in class.
