Second and Third grade learned about the artist Paul Cezanne and the painting genre of "Still Life". Students then drew their apples with oil pastel and created their very own custom backgrounds. After they were completed with their drawings, we had another discussion about the artist as a class, and students completed their work by painting with tempera cake paints.
Students were encouraged to explore warm vs. cool colors in their compositions. They also worked on blending 2 colors with paint to create a more life like apple!
