1st Grade-Cornucopia Still Lifes

I thought a cornucopia would be the perfect example for a still life because still life's by famous artists usually include fruit and food.

We started class by discussing still lifes and coming up with examples of things that are in still lifes. Next, I had templates of a cornucopia shape for students to trace a cut out. Together, we drew the lines and curves on the Cornucopias. Then we glued tan paper to our white paper to create a table and then we glued the cornucopia in the middle of our paper. Lastly, students used construction paper to cut out different fruits and vegetables to put in their still life. Some students even had time to add a background.
