The History of the Still Life in Art — Let's take a look at still life since the beginning of art history. This covers the definition, history, and more. 2 pages of notes with some of the most memorable still life paintings and 2 pages of symbolism in still life painting. 24 enlarged images included for print or digital display. I use this as an introduction to still life drawing and painting. Students always find the symbolism intriguing so I tend to present the painting first and see if they can guess before telling them about it. This goes well with our other resources on still life.
 
STILL LIFE SET UP AND HOW TO — Includes steps and tips for how to set up your own still life, parts of a still life and steps and tips on how to draw a still life. Great information pages with lots of things to think about to make a successful still life. I always intro with these steps before we begin our still life drawing and painting unit. This goes well with our other resources on still life.
 
STILL LIFE ANALYSIS & COMPARE and CONTRAST — STILL LIFE — This allows you to choose 2 still life art history paintings by famous artists or periods and have students compare and contrast them. Also includes an analysis page for a single work of still life. Each asks students to sketch out the works they are viewing. I always intro with these steps before we begin our still life drawing and painting unit. 3 compare and contrast still life painting worksheets that ask specific questions. Includes Van Gogh & Monet, Cezanne & Braque, and Picasso & Erbe. As most questions become obvious answers, there is a teacher fact page included to give more guidance and deeper direction. Includes enlarged paintings that are included on the sheets for print or digital display.
