A still life is typically a scene featuring mostly inanimate everyday objects whether natural, man made or manufactured. The foreground, middle ground and background are brought very close to the viewer's space and the composition is easily distinguished from a portrait or landscape.
We drew the objects that were closest to us first in permanent marker, except for the flower pot or gloves which we wanted to visually pop off the surface of the paper.
We colored the entire picture with Prismacolor markers, and then used texture plates and Artstix to achieve different mark patterns on our objects and surfaces.
We cut out the objects we had drawn for the 3-D effect and elevated them with spacers to create a multi-layered look.
Our students enjoyed brainstorming and adding their own elements in their compositions.
Even our younger artists had no trouble with overlaping shapes and drawing things in the proper perspective.
