Creation Workshop: Taking Space

Background Information
Purpose: Learn to recognize shapes in three-dimensional objects, and use those shapes to create representational drawings.

Time 3 hours

Question What shapes can be found in everyday objects? How can I use these shapes to create realistic drawings?

Materials Pencil or charcoal Paper Assorted household objects (fruit, dishes, plants, books, etc.)

Supporting Documents: • Post-Project Reflection Questions • Written Task Editing Checklist • Creation Workshop Project Rubric

Summary
Explore a variety of still life images and look for the shapes represented in those images. Then use this understanding of shape and form to create a still life drawing. Write a reflection analyzing your drawing.

Introduction
When artists look at images they are planning to represent, they look in a very particular way. In order to really see these images, artists break the images down into their foundational shapes—circles, rectangles, triangles, and trapezoids. Often, they draw these shapes on the page, and then add details, perspective, and shading to build a drawing from the shapes. Still life drawings are drawings of inanimate objects arranged in a particular way. Throughout history, artists have explored the shapes of objects through still life. In this project, you will create your own still life drawing in order to represent the shapes that can be found when looking closely at a set of objects.

Student Guide (continued) Instructions
Step 1: Recognize shapes in famous still life images. a) If you have not already completed the pre-project activity, review the images in the Resources section. Then write a response to the pre-project prompt.
Step 2: Arrange your own still life. a) Use everyday household objects to create an arrangement that is pleasing to the eye and that will be interesting to draw. b) Consider a variety of factors when arranging your still life: (1) Establish a strong directional light source (for example, place the objects near a window or a lamp). (2) Choose a range of objects with different shapes and textures. (3) Place the objects in an interesting, casual arrangement. The composition should be cohesive and show varying heights and distances. It should not be perfectly symmetrical, sterile, or overly staged. c) Take a photograph of the still life arrangement before you begin to draw.
Step 3: Sketch your still life, beginning with the shapes. a) Observe and draw the individual shapes you see in the still life. (1) In addition to the shapes of specific objects, consider overarching compositional shapes—for example, a triangle created by the relationship between three different objects in the frame. (2) Draw the shapes as you see them, rather than as you imagine them to be. For example, even if you know a plate is circular, draw an oval if perspective makes the plate appear to be an oval.
Step 4: Add detail, shading, and dimension to your drawing. a) As you shade, consider the light source. b) Pay close attention to what you actually observe in the arrangement. Draw what you see, rather than what you think you should draw. c) Notice what you choose to include or exclude from the drawing.
Step 5: Write a short reflection (2-3 paragraphs) about your drawing. a) Describe the drawing you created and the decisions you made during the process. b) Explain what you think worked well in your drawing, and what you might do differently in the future. c) In your reflection, discuss the art elements (color, texture, form, line, space, value) and art principles (emphasis, pattern, rhythm, balance, proportion, unity) used in your drawing. Student Guide (continued)
Step 6: Use the rubric and editing checklist to self-assess, reflect on, and revise your work. a) Use the rubric criteria to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. b) Use the editing checklist to check for common errors and make sure your written work is ready for publication. c) Revise and edit your work as needed in order to ensure that it is of high quality.
Step 7: Complete the Post-Project Reflection Questions
Step 8: Upload and submit the following completed documents: a) Photograph of your still life arrangement b) Scan or photograph of your drawing c) Written Reflection d) Post-Project Reflection Questions
