I just had to share this tonight. It couldn't wait. First grade has been learning about still lifes as part of our curriculum this year, and today I completed my first round of Cezanne apple still lifes. I was SO pleased with how these turned out! It only took one class period, which is always nice, and the kids really enjoyed making them. We reviewed what a still life is [because we just completed a Van Gogh sunflower still life], and looked at a few of Cezanne's apple paintings. I will write out the steps below [although I feel that it's pretty self explanatory]. Step 1: Draw three or four circles. [so easy] I used black pastels, but black crayons would be alright. Step 2: I told the kids to draw a "u" with a little line on it to create the stems. Step 3: Draw the plate [or bowl] around the apples. It doesn't need to be perfect! Step 4: Design your table cloth. This is where they can really have fun with it and make it their own. Step 5: I had the students paint only one side of each apple either red or green. [I used tempera cakes.] Step 6: Add yellow to all of the apples and go back and add more red or green [or orange]. Mixing colors on the paper is fine! Step 7: Finish the rest of the painting. I encouraged them to paint the plate only 1 color so that the apples stood out more. But they could paint the table cloth any way they wanted. Step 8: This is the hardest part, but I think it makes a huge difference. [Carefully] Go back over your black pastel marks. They will have to be careful because the paper will probably still be wet in places. We JUST painted and used pastels on top for our last project, so my kids were really good about taking their time with the pastels. That's it! I am really trying to get my kids to remember that a still life is THINGS, portraits are PEOPLE, and sea/city/landscapes are PLACES. We will be moving right along to those other subjects soon. Let me know if you'd like to see more step-by-step examples!

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.

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.

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.
