Art_Still Life & Shared Darks and Lights

The girls built their own 3D forms: rectangular prism, sphere, cylinder, and cube. Then they designed their own form combining shapes to build a pitcher or a vase. They arranged them to create a still-life in the style of the Italian painter Morandi. After doing a few studies of the shared lights and darks across the forms in charcoal and ink, they painted the still-life mixing tints and shades of acrylic.
