5th Grade- Apple Still Lifes

We began this project by continuing what we practiced last class, we created value with colored pencils. I made handouts for the students to shade. We looked closely at a real apple and noticed that we don't only see red, but also red-orange, brown, dark, red, light red, yellow, and black.  Here is a before and after picture of the hand out.



During our next class period, we drew an apple from observation and shaded it in using oil pastels. Students were then allowed to add their own background.



Finally, on  the third day of this lesson, students painted the backgrounds with watercolor. Here are some student examples.
