Apple Still Life Composition Kindergarten Lesson

Kinders looked at an apple still life and then painted three apples. We learned about Cezanne, an artist who liked to paint fruit still life pictures. He would spend a lot of time looking at the apples before he finally painted his pictures of them.

 

This lesson came from DEEP SPACE SPARKLE. 

 

After the apples dried, students cut out all three and chose a "table cloth" to go under the apples.  They had a choice of felt, foam or burlap rectangles in many different colors. We used a black marker to add shadows under the apples to make them look like they were sitting on the table.

The final touch was adding patterns or lines behind the still life with construction paper crayons.

 

 I think these little still life artists did a great job!
