Look at the painting, Apples and Oranges and see if you can find any of the forms above.
Cezanne considered the objects in his still life settings to be basic forms; such as a sphere,cube or cylinder.
Cezanne usually used apples, oranges and peaches in his still life. He would arrange them on a table with a piece of fabric.
We are going to use pumpkins and fabric in our still life.
What basic form do you see in the pumpkin?
A pumpkin is a natural form. It is not a shape.
What is the difference between a form and a shape?
You are right, forms are 3D not flat!!!
7. TEXTURE is one of the elements of art. Texture is the way something feels when you touch it.
Artists can also create the illusion of texture in the paintings and drawings.

2. DAB 1 color onto the water, do not paint w/brushstrokes.should look like it is tiedyed (cloudy)
3. Rinse your brush and DAB a 2nd color if you want to.
4. Be patient, they will mix themselves!!! DO NOT PAINT
5. Sprinkle salt onto the wet paint or dab with a paper towel, so there are no puddles when you are walking.
