HW: ART FEE Still Life’s A still life (plural still life's) is a work of art depicting mostly 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).

History: Still Life’s flourished during the 1600s as many artist studied common items; practicing and improving their skills. Scenes may be interpreted as allegories of the seasons, the elements, or the sins of the flesh; they also represent a profound attention to the scientifically correct depiction of natural objects. Many of the most highly skilled practitioners of still-life painting during this period (1600s) were women, whose gender usually excluded them from painting grander subjects, such as histories and allegories.

Still Life : Basic Shapes and Forms Lets dissect a still life… all objects are made up of shapes.

When we first start drawing we are going to be making quick sketches, they don’t need to be perfect. We are looking for the shapes of an object or how an object would fit into a shape. How to hold the pencil… Don’t hold it all the way down at the tip. You can only move short distances with it. Allow yourself to be fluid with the pencil and your markings.

Sketching : A simply or hastily executed drawing or painting, especially a preliminary one, giving the essential features without the details. a rough design, plan, or draft, as of a book. a brief or hasty outline of facts, occurrences, etc.

On the front of your paper make a couple (2) quick sketches of what you see. Break down the shapes or forms if you need too. A cube is made up of squares, a pyramid is made up of triangles.

On the back side of your paper, using ALL THE SPACE. Once again draw the simple still life. BUT: Take your time. Think about the space around the objects. (How close they are, how far) The proportion of the objects. (Use your pencil to measure!) How much or what parts of the object you can see. Do not worry about value.
