Paul Cézanne (French pronunciation: [pɔl seˈzan]; 19 January 1839 – 22 October 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.
We learned all about Paul Cezanne, and his artwork. We also learned about highlights and shadows and still life's. We drew our apples with oil pastels and shaded them in.
Materials needed:
oil pastels from the art room. Pre-separate them into....
3 colors of red( light medium and dark. Orange may be used)
3 colors of green ( light medium and dark)
2 or 3 colors shades of yellow
Brown. And white
Each child will have a set.
There will be samples of the steps to show kids in a baggie in the art room
Black 12x18 paper for background.
Cut light brown 12x18 sulfite paper into rectangles.
Show the kids the art talk presentation on Cezannes. You can also display some Cezannes posters from the art closet. Here is the link to the PDF.

Art project:
Hand out three sheets of brown paper to each child.
Hand out pastels. A great way to do it is separate reds, yellows and greens in snack baggies, then each row in the classroom will do a different color and then switch for all three colored apples. This way you will have enough of the good pastels to go around.
Show them a step, then guide them through it.
1.Draw a good size circle using the darkest shade of the three.
2. Talk a bit about which side the light will be shining on.
3. They will use the lightest color and draw a half moon on the side of the apple where the light is shining.
4. Then, use the darkest color to draw a half moon side on the shaded side of apple.
5. Then, use the medium color to color in remaining mid-section. Don't leave any spaces! Keep blending with medium color into the dark and light so it is fully covered.
6. Take your white and make a little shiny crescent spot on one side of your apple. You can also make a few highlights with the white according to the picture.
7. Make a small smiley face with the brown, and a green or brown stem.
8. If you think they are able or if you have time, they can shade very lightly under the shady side of the apple with the side of a brown pastel. Very lightly.
They are done! Make sure their names are on each one.
Glue stick them to the black paper, put a sticker on the back stating the name, date, teacher and artist. Take a photo of each one for artsonia. Send me the photos. Great job!
