Fractured Still Life Drawing I began this lesson with a google slide presentation which covered what a contour line drawing, still life drawing are and what composition means. I have not completed this lesson with students, but will update this post with student art when they start rolling in :) Google Slide Presentation- contour line, still life, composition Materials: White paper (needs to be at least 8.5x11, larger is better) Pencil, sharpie, colored pencils, blending stump (if you don't have one, you can use your finger, paper towel, or tissue) RULER or STRAIGHT EDGE (use a book or something that has a straight edge if you do not have a ruler) Directions: 1. Arrange an interesting still life composition of 8-10 items. 2. Using pencil, create a contour line drawing of the composition. (DO NOT SHADE) 3. Using pencil, draw 8-10 of the same geometric shape (they should be different sizes) OVERLAP your contour still life objects 4. Using sharpie, outline any pieces of the items that are NOT inside of a box. DO NOT OUTLINE THE BOXES!!!! 5. Decide which materials to use inside which boxes. You are adding value/color to the items, but ONLY inside the boxes. Some should be done with just sharpie, some with pencil, and some with colored pencil. 6. Lastly- you need a background that doesn't take away from your drawing. I decided to create evenly spaced vertical lines through the back of mine. It is your choice what to do for your background. Background Rules: Should be done only with pencil and sharpie. (pencil first for sure!) DO NOT draw through your boxes or items! Simple is best.
This wet chalk technique adds a new dimension of layering & blending colors to this drawing lesson. Add color to a still life, landscape or process art.
My favorite free art!
Still Life Drawing art lesso. Just a few simple materials create a still life study to introduce “observational drawing” to grades 1-4.
Contour line is a big part of Art. Whether we are talking about form, perspective, eye level. Many artist use contour line as part of their main focus. See below.

From InsideOutArtTeacher on Instagram https://insideoutartteacher.com/ Using Cross Contour, warm and cool colors. MMS Student Work 2023-8th grade Shyli Rushing Grayson DuPont Natalie Morales WHAT DO DO Before you begin, Start "seeing" in Contour Line... if you are having trouble doing this, watch videos below to help you. 1. Find 3 objects that you know you can draw. They can be around the room, pictures from Internet, or shapes you pull from your head. 2. Draw the outside shapes of the objects. Define the space with a horizontal line dividing background from foreground. 3. Use contour lines on the object. This can be contour in 1 direction or cross contour going both ways (more challenging). Usually, the Center (eye level) should be a straight line. As the shape goes outward from center, lines gradually change to match the outer line. 4. Color using color theory to add emphasis: Warm and Cool Primary and Secondary Complimentary Colors. STEP BY STEP visuals 1 &2. 3. 4. You can color solid with lighter colors. then go over them with darker analogous colors to add pattern. Watch these videos below to get your mind on seeing in Contour Line and understanding Cross Contour line.
This art history packet introduces students to the artist Paul Cézanne. Students learn about the artist through web links and videos, color artwork similar in style to his work then use the grid method to re-create and then color some of his famous paintings.

Go to this website to see similar examples from another school. http://arteascuola.com/2020/02/shading-forms/ A form is a three dimensional shape. It is able to stand up in a surface. Because it is 3D, light hits the form and gives the form various shades. A variety of darks and light is called Value. Study the forms above. Where is the light coming from? How does light effect round and flat forms differently? We will need to practice with making smooth value. YOu will be given a value scale practice page to complete before you begin the still life. Here is what your value scale sheet should look like when you are done.... http://tabithaannthelostsock.blogspot.com/2019/09/value-scale.html?m=1 Steps to beginning Still Life of Forms
