For this project you’ll document your observing adventure by making a still life drawing, capturing your inspiration collection, and making a final still life illustration.

Here is all about it in detail:

The project for this class is separated into 3 different parts just like the class itself.

The first part of the project will be to make a line drawing of a still life. You can do it by arranging your own still life composition or you can also use my still life photographs. You can find them in the resources section of the class. I made different arrangements for you, from easy ones to more complex ones, so that you can pick the one that suits you best.
The second part of the project is finding inspiration and understanding what we like about it and how we can learn from it. At the same time, we’ll find out more about ourselves and our own artistic style. As you’ll see, we’ll be looking for inspiration in more genuine places that are true to ourselves like our bookshelves. I’m looking forward to seeing what treasures you’ll find and what you’ll learn from observing them.
And the third part of the project is basically taking everything we learned and creating a still life illustration, drawing, or painting, but this time in our own style.

When you finish, click on the ‘create project’ button, add all 3 parts of your observing journey, and tell us something about your process and what you’ve learned. Not only will you inspire all of us, but you’ll also be proud and inspired by seeing your own collection of work and your amazing progress in one place. And remember, the most valuable thing is progress, not perfection.

I can’t wait to see what you’ll make!
