Our distance learning has had a continued focus on using VALUE and PERSPECTIVE in artwork. This week, you will review ellipses and cylinders as you create a still life drawing using value and perspective.

| Sample Art by Ms. Ammons |
Begin by studying these two paintings by Giorgio Morandi. He is famous for painting still life paintings made up of simple forms found in everyday objects like cups, bowls and vases. He focused on light and shadow to show how each object is shaped. The VALUES he uses gives his work PERSPECTIVE and makes it look realistic. 
Look at the cylinders in his paintings. Notice that the shadow on the inside of each container is on the opposite side than it is on the outside. By reversing the value scale on the inside and outside of these containers, we can tell they are hollow.
Look at the steps below and then watch the video. You will draw three containers that are cylinders, and you will shade them with two opposite value scales.
As you work this week, think about the project goals and check your work. This week's goals are:
(4=A, 3=B, 2=C, 1=D)
1. Value: Did I use a variety of values, from very light to very dark?
2. Coloring: Did I color evenly, blending colors and considering value?
3. Form: Did I create my cylinders carefully and symmetrically, focusing on ellipses that are aligned?
4. Creativity: Did I think of a creative way to add a black and white background to my project so that the finished product looks neat, complete and ready for display?
