Intro 2 Art: Still Life Thumbnail Name: _______________________ Class: ________________________
Landscape Side UP
Portrait Side UP
1. Choose whether you will draw in a portrait or a landscape view. Look for a composition that will fill up the picture plane. Use one of the compositional lines from above to compose your drawing. 2. Use simple outlines to draw the still life. 3. Make measurements and use sightlines to make sure your composition is in perspective.
4. When you complete the thumbnail drawing in the rectangle by erasing any sightlines and measurements, use a ruler or straightedge to line up the marks on the outside to make a grid over your drawing. It will break up your thumbnail into 2” x 2” squares.
