This document provides instructions for a lesson on still life drawing and painting. It begins with defining still life as inanimate objects arranged in a particular way to practice drawing and painting skills. Students then create small abstract sculptures and arrange them in a still life to draw using different techniques within time limits, including gestural drawing in 60 seconds, continuous line drawing without lifting the pencil, and contour outline drawing. The lesson concludes with students creating a detailed observational drawing of their still life arrangement using the techniques practiced, while looking at the real objects. Feedback is provided through questions about strengths and areas for improvement.
