Science (Physics of Light): Understanding how light interacts with surfaces and how shadows are cast ties into lessons on the physics of light. Students explore concepts like reflection, refraction, and light sources as they observe the way light hits objects.

Student Learning Expectation Students will investigate the history of still life art, identifying key artists and movements that have influenced the genre. Students will enhance their observational skills by closely studying the shapes, textures, and colors of the objects in their still-life setup. Students will develop proficiency in various artistic techniques, such as shading, blending, and color mixing, to effectively represent light and shadow.
