2. A still-life is an arrangement of inanimate items (items that are not alive) A still-life is arranged for the purpose of creating art

3. Van Goghs Shoes Vincent Van Gogh created this still-life of his shoes. What makes the shoes interesting as a piece of art? What might we need to think about if we created our own still-life?

4. With your group mates, carefully go through the cool items Ms. Stephenson brought to class (or use some of your own!) Choose 4-5 objects for your table Arrange the items in an interesting way Draw them on your paper using any technique weve used in class so far (contour line, varying quality of line, value – hatch, crosshatch, scumble, stipple) Make your drawing look interesting

5.
