  1. Still Life

  2. What is a still Life? A still life is a work of art depicting inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on). With origins in the Middle Ages , still-life painting emerged as a distinct genre in Western painting by the late 16th century, and has remained significant since then. Still life gives the artist more freedom in the arrangement of elements within a composition than do paintings of other types of subjects such as landscape or portraiture.

  19. Now It’s your turn • Choose where you want to sit for your favorite composition. Each view is a little different. • Using a viewfinder, draw three compositional sketches in your sketchbook. Once you are done, talk to me about which composition you chose to draw. • After you figure out which composition you chose to do, find the size of paper you need, and crop the paper for your composition. • Draw the NEGATIVE SPACE of the still life. This means no contour line. After you are done drawing, ink in the negative space using Indian ink.
