Gift box still life

Last year I did a still life lesson with my fourth grade that I wanted to switch up for this year. I decided this would be an easy way to grab attention during the craziness between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love the creativity in their wrapping paper and backgrounds.

The students really gave it their all on what can be a very daunting lesson. If you'd like to try it, no need to reinvent the wheel. My lesson plan is available here.

This lesson easily takes four weeks from start to finish and there are many great extensions I could add (such as creatures stirring in the foreground). Lesson plan available here.
