Observational Drawing: Still-Life




This month's observational drawing activity for second, third and fourth graders consisted of a still life composed of many different types of objects and textures. Many students have been using their newly acquired shading skills, and while this activity did not focus on value and light differences, many students did attempt to convey such value differences. Students had the option of adding color using pastels and/or colored pencils and were encouraged to think about overlapping objects to depict space, as well as texture and detail.
