Help students learn how to paint everyday objects. Artists like Van Gogh, Cezanne and Matisse, often looked to everyday objects when creating still-life paintings in the classroom. Everyday objects make up subjects that can be studied to represent form for several sessions. Color mixing, painting, recreating shapes, mixing and layering paint help beginners in oil painting represent form through painting objects that are still. Unlike impressionism, artists can learn to paint by being free of the distractions of wind and motion. Help beginning artists paint the light of everyday objects.

Art and Education in the Studio begins with powerful still-life painting. Learn to paint without distractions, experimenting with color, form, lights and darks in the classroom.
