Halloween Still Lifes

My six's tried something different tonight. Since they've had about ten sessions I thought they could tackle drawing from an object. They've learned by now that every object can be broken down into simple shapes. So I tested them. Here's the two still life objects. The mouse in the mug (my favorite!) and the frogs in the cauldrin.

There are several challenges still with shading. One, shading with the sides of their pencils and two, shading from light to dark.

We also talked about the importance of "Overlapping" another tool box word. We made sure the handles on our mugs were overlapping the side of the mug to make it look more 3D!  (Don't forget to click on the artwork to see a larger version.)

The Club House Artists did a fantastic job with the still life drawings. Way to go girls!
