C is for Paul CEZANNE

Paul Cezanne used solid shapes and vibrant colors in his still life paintings. As you look at his still life paintings, you will notice that the background is important to complement his composition.

PROJECT:

Materials- fruit, fabric, tempera paint, crayons

Technique: painting

Process: Stage your own still life using fruit, dishes, cloth, etc.
Sketch the still life that you have set up using a crayon. Make sure that you include a background in your composition. Paint the fruit and objects using bright colors. Add shadows with gray paint. If you would like to add texture, you could actually glue on white cotton cloth for your draped tablecloth. This will give your work of art added dimension.

Art Center:

 cloth, artificial fruit, oil crayons, crayons, tempera paint, water colors, canvas , paper, pottery, bottles, small boxes to drape with the cloth to add elevation
