Second Grade Charles Demuth Inspired Still Life

Second grade has been learning all about Charles Demuth, (Lancaster native!) and his still life work. Second grade then practiced looking at flowers by completing a blind contour drawing (that was fun!). We then started our final still life paintings using contour line, colored pencils and watercolors. We discussed how we are taking 3D objects (the flowers and vase) and drawing them on a 2D surface. To add our finishing touches we talked about horizon line or table line, as well as the background. Enjoy the beautiful pictures below!
