Art Challenge: #stilldecember

Arrange a still life and use any drawing or painting media to capture its likeness. You can use almost anything to make a still life, but traditional items to include are food, flowers, bowls, baskets, and vases. Vanitas are a sub-genre of still life which include objects such as skulls, hour glasses, and extinguished candles which are meant to remind the viewer of the brevity and fragility of life. Some contemporary artists also include objects from popular culture like action figures, hygiene products, and shoes. Whatever subject matter you choose, take some time to slow down during this holiday season and make artwork. It can be serious of silly, the choice is yours. If you post your work online use #stilldecember. You can also search this hashtag to get inspiration from other artists.
