Quarter 2 Still Life

Still life in art is depicting objects that are placed together naturally, this is what I did for my quarter two benchmark art project. I wanted my still life work to be different from others, so by doing this I decided to put random objects together that does not match, by doing this people will see there’s no limit on art so they should try their best to think out the box. I had to draw it three different times before I did the final drawing and that made it perfect. The first two drawings were horrible, but when I did the third one I started improving.

Before I started drawing everything, I thought that the star would be the hardest thing to draw, but it was actually the base of the candle holder. The star was a little challenging but all I did was payed attention to get it right.The candle holder had multiple curves in it, so I had to make sure that they were all even and look the same. I enjoyed the process of drawing everything even though it was pretty time consuming because I wanted it to be perfect, especially the string/rope with the beads took up the most time, but it was worth. I definitely got better at shading and creating more depth within my drawings.I would also add more shadow to the candle stick,because the starfish was the only thing had a shadow on it.

I must say I really like this type of art and I’m looking forward to working on more pieces like this.
