This is a fun workshop and great way to study a still life and explore Cubist ideas of ‘temporal frames’; drawing ‘time and space’.

To support this exercise you may want to look at Cubist still life studies such as ‘Bowl of Fruit, Violin and Bottle’ by Pablo Picasso and ‘Still Life with a Pair of Banderillas’ by Georges Braque.

The still life drawing below was created by a year 9 student, (aged 14 years) in an hour and ten minute workshop on A3 paper with carbon paper.

What We Like About This Resource….

“Rachel has contributed some great resources to AccessArt and we really like how this idea captures the concept of ‘returning’ – something that school children will have processed over the past year. We love how this activity encourages hands to feel and move paint about freely – to experience its qualities and tactile nature. You could try this in your setting using different migratory birds such as Ospreys or Swifts as inspiration, with the children looking at images of these birds before trying some observational drawing.” – Rachel, AccessArt.
