Third grade art takes on a new challenge: the still life! The
pioneer still life builds upon observational drawing skills from years prior. Students
learn to observe and draw multiple objects, paying close attention to the
relationships between each object on the page. For instance, you can see which
objects are in front, because they overlap the object behind it. Pioneer
objects were carefully chosen as a theme for each still life. This enables the
viewer to create their own story behind the artwork.
