Product Description
Learn to create three-dimensionality with tints and shades of one color!
If the idea of painting a still life arrangement seems like a mere exercise in painting some boring objects, think again. Throughout history, artists have been painting arrangements of everyday objects to make commentary on the life and ideas of their time.
In this lesson you’ll learn about some of the ideas that artists have been trying to communicate through their still life paintings. Then we’ll draw an arrangement based on the idea of travel.
After learning about making tints and tones, we’ll make a monochromatic painting of our still life using just one color and its tints and tones. Once you’ve finished that, you’ll be ready to arrange and paint your own still life to make a big statement with a few simple objects!
This lesson includes both POWERPOINT and VIDEO versions of the lesson plus 2 downloadable printouts: a warmup and a drawing of the still life.
Approximate Time Needed to Complete the Art Class:
- Introduction through guided drawing: 20 minutes
- Finishing the painting: 60-75 minutes
- Total time: 80-95 minutes
Families will have access to the online lesson for one year from the date of purchase.
