Still-Life With Paul Cezanne

I found it easy to discuss the concepts of space and value while introducing first grade students to the French Artist Paul Cezanne. We looked at and discussed various works by the French artist.  

Next we began our own art based on his apple still-lifes.  We spent the first day drawing and tracing our lines with black crayon.  Students got creative by using patterns for their backgrounds.

On day two, we began painting.  First we painted some green and red at the bottom of our apples.
