6. Today’s Project Still life. What does still life mean?
Today we are going to draw and cut out objects using simple shapes
An orange is what shape?
What about an apple?
Still Life: A painting or drawing of an arrangement of objects (inanimate), typically including fruit and flowers and objects contrasting with these in texture, such as bowls and glassware.

7. See what is in front of you
Proportion - What is the biggest thing and what is the smallest
Where do the shapes overlap?
What are the shapes in between the objects?
Foreground and background – look at the still life and see which piece of fruit is in the front which one is in the middle and which one is behind them all. This order will be different from your friend looking from the other side of the table.

Next we are to look at the orange and the apple on the table and see with our eyes which shape is bigger. Then we draw the circular shapes on the colored paper one orange and one apple and cut out.
Now its time to draw the shape of the banana on the yellow paper and cut out.
