Still Life: A painting or drawing of an arrangement of objects.
Contour: Shows the outline of the subject, and not the volume or mass of an object.
Visual Texture: The illusion of a 3D surface on a 2D Surface. If we were to touch a visual texture, we would not feel what our eyes tell us to expect. (A concept 4th graders have been exploring in science)
To explore these concepts students drew a still life of indian corn, focusing on the contours to show visual texture.
After students made their contour drawing they outlined it with sharpie. Next they colored each kernel individually with crayon, blending and overlapping colors to get the desired color. Students then used wax resist with watercolor to paint the background and areas not covered with crayon.
