Lesson Overview
This is the first lesson in a sequential unit. Power point presentation. Students look at and discuss still-life paintings and develop a definition for the genre. They then further their understanding of this type of painting and practice drawing techniques by drawing their own still lifes from direct observation. Art production focuses on the tools used to create the illusion of three-dimensional space and convey texture in pencild.
Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to:
• identify and discuss two key elements of European still-life painting: the use of symbols and direct observation from nature.• use various pencil techniques. • create a drawing of objects from direct observation. • use shading techniques to successfully depict the illusion of three-dimensional form and space. • use new vocabulary specific to value, forms, shading and still-life drawing.
Materials
Color pencils, paper, (brushes, and watercolors for extension of shading improving technique, etc.)
• Journals, notebook, for note taking and sketching.
• A still-life arrangement, created from objects such as pottery, glassware, fruit and vegetables, shells, flowers, skulls, etc.
