Choose your lesson

Lesson 1: Still life composition

Using a selection of objects meaningful to them, children learn the subtle art of composition, sketching as they go

Lesson 2: Charcoal still life

Using the same arrangement as last lesson, pupils draw inspiration from the abstract artist Camargo and use charcoals to create a new still life piece

Lesson 3: Negative medium still life

Learning to see light and shade in a new way, children pick out the shapes of their composition using erasers on a lightly greyed out background

Lesson 4: Still life in colour

After looking at still life paintings from Cezanne, pupils mix and use paint to bring colour to their still life with a range of tints and hues

Lesson 5: Assembling the memory box

Children showcase their still life works by creating a box with a different piece on each face, topped with a graphic representation of the memories they evoke
