  6. Today’s Project • Still life drawing • What does still life mean? • Today we are going to draw objects using simple shapes • An orange is a circle

  7. Step 1 - Name • Write your name on the back of your paper. Lets play a quick game : • Look at the objects in front of you and take turns naming something you see. • Talk about texture, detail, color and shadow.

  8. Step 2 – Observe what is in front of you • Take the time to really see the shapes and sizes in front of you • What are the objects made of? • circles • Rectangles • Proportions- What is the biggest thing and what is the smallest • Where do objects overlap? • What are the shapes in between the objects?

  9. Step 3 – Practice Drawing • On your index card, draw the simple shapes of your objects using pencil. • Draw them BIG- fill the page • Draw what you see. • Make sure you draw the edge of the table! • Use your eraser to make corrections. • This is practice so try again if it isn’t quite right • When you have a practice draft that fills the page, then move on to your final paper

  10. Step 4 – Draw Still Life • Move to your big paper. • Draw your objects using simple shapes with pencil. • It is ok to make correction lines • Outline your shapes with a dark color of chalk pastel. • Fill in your shapes with the chalk pastels. • Color the table surface and the wall behind. • Cover the whole paper with color. • Try blending colors with your finger. • Make sure you put some shadows in your drawing.
