On black paper, using Prisma Color colored pencils, students drew candy color field drawings from observation. There were 9 still-lifes created by hot gluing candy to a piece of Bristol Board and numbering them. I numbered them so that they could be checked out each class and there is record of which students were using what still-life. This was done in a high school drawing 1 class. It made it easier to remind the students that the candy forms were all forms they already knew how to draw mostly being different spheres and cylinders. I did the project with two students working from each still-life. Be sure to give them a piece of hard candy every once in a while when their working well!

Brit,
ReplyDeleteI really love this project. I remember seeing samples of this same idea at UMSL! I'm going to make samples of it for my own collection of stuff this summer. Wow, my basement is getting messy.
