Still life Grade 12

 

2011/2012 A new scholastic year

The best way to start a scholastic year is by drawing a challenging still life. Students always think it's too hard until they get going.Start off by sketching the composition, comparing the dimensions of the objects, looking for symmetrical objects, looking at overlapping perspective and observing negative spaces. When all the objects are placed comfortably on an A4 paper with a couple of inches to spare, you know you are on the right track.Do the same thing on an A3 paper and build up your drawing, constructing symmetrical objects and ellipses. Keep an eye open for negative spaces. Start shading, comparing tones, looking for different tones in each object. Create different textures using different pencils, putty rubber, sharp erasers and paper stumps. All outlines must disappear into tones and remember, shadows are of the utmost importance!

ABSTRACT

Perspective

Perspective is the technique used to represent a three-dimensional world (what we see) on a two-dimensiona

l surface

(a piece of paper or canvas) in a way that looks realistic and accurate, as we see it in nature. Perspective is used to create an illusion of space and depth on a flat surface.

The rules of perspective applied in Western art as we know them today were developed during the Renaissance. Prior to this, there wasn't an expectation that paintings would be realistic, or naturalistic representations of life. Instead paintings were stylized and symbolic. For instance, the size a figure was painted could indicate their importance relative to the other figures, a

nd individual colours had significance greater than their actual hue.

Mantegna liked to experiment with perspective,

lowering his horizon in order to creat

e more drama .

Masaccio is considered the most influential early Renaissance painter. He was one of the most revolutionary artists of his time in terms of mathematical perspective and being able to create a believable three-

dimensional reality.

Uccello was obsessed by his interest in perspective

and would stay up all night in his study trying to grasp the exact vanishing point. He used perspective in order to create a feeling of depth in his paintings
