Still Life Fruits

Last week, I gathered several different fruits for a still life composition. We talked about many different artists that paint from a still life composition including Claude Monet, Vincent Can Gogh, and Edouard Manet. First graders observed these fruits, noticing the texture and the color. I placed them in front of each student and then we drew them first and painted on top. Great work first graders, notice the shading on the bottom and the source of light at the top!
