Tea and Lemons, Ages 9 and 10

We set up a still life and the students took their time with their thumbnail drawings. 

Then they painted with acrylic on canvas board. 

We talked about the shapes of the objects, 

overlapping, shadows and highlights. 

It is great when they take their time to observe and paint what they see.

These charcoal drawings were done on textured 17 x 22 inch paper. We talked about values and accuracy in what they observe. I am really happy that all the students took on tough subject matter (they could have just done a baseball). It was a pleasure to watch them work. They checked their angles and the relationship of one part to another part of the drawing. They also did a great job at drawing textures, reflections and shadows.
