I was very excited to see these when kids got finished with them. It was a nice chance for them to utilize observational drawing skills. They ended up liking the colored pencil the most of this project. We used watercolor pencil as an option, which can serve as a nice effect for a background.
When I start a Still Life project with students I try to give them basic steps:
1. Use careful lines to create basic shapes.
2. Add detail to draw each object in your still life.
3. Show value by going from light to dark with your drawing tools.
4. Finish adding value by studying and showing highlights and shadows.
5. Add color to your background and if you would like details to your background also.
Here are 5th grade examples:
I loved this still life with a Halloween side and fall reflection!
