Introduction
What do you see when you look around you? Look really closely at the shapes and the details of the objects around you!
Imagine someone calls you and asks you where you are. And you have to describe very precisely what your surrounds look like. Give it a try! Make pairs, pick an object in the classroom and describe it to the other person as precisely as you can without saying what it is!

Drawing Like a Dutch Master: Observing the Everyday
The Dutch Golden Age artists were masters of observation. They paid close attention to light, texture, and detail, just like you will do in this project! Still life paintings from this time often showed real objects from daily life, arranged carefully and painted realistically.
