MONDAY - BRING ONE OBJECT FROM HOME FOR YOUR STILL LIFE FINAL
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: How to plan an artwork by sketching quick small versions (thumbnails) of possible still life arrangements.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Once we know what we want to include in our still life, we need to decide how our objects will fit together. This is the next planning stage of your still life project and it's an important way to develop any major artwork.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will create multiple thumbnail sketches of your chosen objects in different arrangements.

Block-In Your Drawing with Reference Marks
Making light reference marks can help artists place objects in the right spot and design more interesting arrangements. These marks are just placed at the top, bottom, and sides of an object to set its scale and position in a drawing.
