        Still Life Drawings and Paintings 
        Grades 1-4 
        Overview  
        Students will be introduced to the still life and will explore their drawing skills by drawing 
        objects from direct observation. They will draw simple outlines of their choice of still life 
        objects. When drawing, they will draw one object right over another to create overlapping. 
        The final step is adding colour.   
        What you will need:  
        •  drawing paper  
        •  pencil  
        •  eraser  
        •  still life objects  
        •  ruler 
        •  anything you can colour with - markers,  oil 
         pastels, pencil crayons, wax crayons, pens 
        What you can also use:  
        •  watercolour/painting paper  
        •  thick black marker 
        •  paint brushes  
        •  paint 
         
         
                                                       
                                                   
       What is a Still Life? 
       A still life is a type of painting or drawing 
       where inanimate objects are arranged, 
       or put together, in a specific way. 
       Inanimate objects are things that don’t 
       move. Objects that are typically found in 
       still life drawings and paintings include 
       fruit, flowers, tables, bowls and 
       glassware. They are usually 
       commonplace objects or things that we 
       see every day. Objects for a still life can 
       be chosen because they mean 
       something special to the artist, or 
       because the artist simply likes the way 
       they look. 
        
       This still life painting is part of the Helson Gallery’s exhibition, The Collector’s Eye. The 
       exhibition features artwork by Canadian artists. This artwork was painted by William Walton 
       Armstrong, who was born in Toronto.  
       What objects did the artist include his still life? 
       Can you find these objects in your house? Where would you look for them? 
       Would you use any of these objects in your still life? Why or why not? 
       Step 1: Set up your still life 
       Set up your own still life arrangement. As the artist, it is up to you to choose which objects you 
       want to have in your still life. There is no right or wrong choice. You can choose objects that you 
       think will be easy for you to draw, or you can try to draw something new or complex. Place the 
       objects somewhere where you will be able to look at them while drawing them.  
       Step 2: Draw your still life 
       To draw our objects we are going to use contour 
       lines. Contour lines are just the outlines of the 
       objects. Draw the contours, or outlines, of your first 
       object. Now, draw your second object, but make 
                                                   
                                                   
       part of it overlaps, or covers part of, your first object. It should look something like this:  
       Complete the drawing by overlapping the rest of your objects. If you like, draw a horizontal line 
       across the page to create a table top on which the objects are standing.  
       Step 3: Colour in your artwork  
       When your drawing is finished, you can colour it in or paint it. The overlapping pieces of your 
       objects have divided the drawing into different shapes and areas. Colour each shape or area 
       using a different colour. You can also challenge yourself 
       by using tints of a single colour to create a 
       monochromatic artwork.  
       You can use a variety of materials to colour in your 
       artwork, such as markers, pencil crayons, oil pastels and 
       wax crayons. You can also use paint.  
       If you like, you can go over your drawing with a thick 
       black marker, crayon or oil pastel to make your contour 
       lines stand out.
