Still-Life Drawing unit and Cezanne










Currently, 7th grade artists are working on their autumn inspired still-life drawings from life. Students have the opportunity to explore shading pencils, and colored pencil techniques such as color layering this week.

As part of our art appreciation and art history unit, the students have viewed a video about the famous painter named Paul Cezanne who is considered the "father of modern art" and a master of the still-life composition. In addition, the students have completed a reading and worksheet on the life and work of Paul Cezanne in the art magazine called Art and Man.
