A Still Life is an arrangement of objects on a surface. These objects are often grouped together and arranged thoughtfully to best showcase each object and the creative combination. Still Life arrangements can have a theme whether it's a color scheme, object specific like food items or children's toys, or simply look good together combining interesting colors, textures, and sheens. Lighting is also an important factor with still life arrangements. Think of soft accent lights lighting up the back of the arrangement giving a halo effect to your objects or lighting up the backdrop to accent the silhouette of your objects. You can even prop objects up on different planes using boxes under a fabric covering getting some height to certain areas.
Working with ONE PARTNER or by yourself, you will plan out a still life design. You will be in charge of all the choices that go into creating an interesting still life arrangement: choosing fabrics, objects, surface space, lighting, theme, mood, etc. Mrs. Gates will provide some still life objects and fabrics but you can also bring items in for your arrangement.

For the 4th marking period you will be taking a series of 5 photos showing a sustained investigation about a topic that interests you every 2 weeks.
Week 1 - Select a topic that interests you and RESEARCH that topic in order to create a series of 10 photos that look like they go together based on your theme. Find at least two artists (could be photographers or traditional media like drawing or paintings, etc.) that work in the style or theme that you're interested in. Create either a digital or tangible sketchbook showcasing these artists and some personal notes about what you want to do. You cannot simply copy these artists, but use them as inspiration.
