Fall Harvest Basket Still Life Drawings

In my practicum, I taught the students how to draw a fall harvest basket.  With this task the students had to include line, colour and shading to show form. The students had to also incorporate a carrot and a pumpkin into their fall harvest basket drawings since they had learned how to draw these vegetables in previous art lessons.  The students had to include one other fall fruit or vegetable into their drawings, which gave them freedom of choice.  As a result, I was very flattered by the excellent fall harvest basket sill life drawings that the students produced. 

I was very impressed with Dayton's fall harvest basket.  He incorporated a cross-stitch pattern on his fall harvest basket, which made his basket captivating.  I also find the yellow background in his artwork pleasing since it often symbolizes creativity, happiness, and clarity.  Dayton's contour lines on the corn, and the pumpkin adds some detail to his drawing.  His drawing also includes lots of different types of vegetables, which separates his drawing from the other drawings I observed. 

 I was amazed by Morgan's fall harvest basket drawing.  She included some subtle contour lines on both her carrot and pumpkin, which makes her vegetables appealing.  I also like the grid design that she used on her basket.  I appreciate that the fall harvest basket, the carrot, the pumpkin, and the apple are all nicely coloured-in.  Furthermore, the sun at the top-left corner adds a pleasant and happy feeling when one observes Morgan's artwork. 

I find Mya's fall harvest basket drawing delightful.  The pattern at the bottom of her fall harvest basket draws my attention because there is a variance between smooth "swiggly" lines and pointed "swiggly" lines.  It appears that Mya blended brown and white colours on her basket, which adds a cool effect.  Mya also included some nice brown contour lines on the pumpkin and the carrot.  The rainbow in the background is a neat feature that adds extra flare to her Fall Harvest Basket drawing.
