Draw a complex still life with a dynamic composition.
Guidelines
Set up a still life of five or six objects of varying sizes, shapes, and textural and pattern complexity. Use all of the skills you have sharpened during the semester to develop your image.
In planning your still life, objects must be chosen not just for their interest, but also for shape, value, and texture. The objects must be arranged so they complement one another: dark against light, smooth forms next to ones with varied or complex surfaces. The element of drapery must also be included.
Place some objects in the foreground, some in the middle ground, and some in the background. Using your knowledge of atmospheric perspective as a guide, overlap the shapes to create varied intervals and interesting negative spaces.
Looking through your viewfinder, try different arrangements before picking the final version. Try out little drawings in your sketchbook to help you decide on the best composition.
Remember, lighting enhances your composition. Experiment with your light source before beginning to draw to find just the right arrangement. Light from a window may be fine for a while, but this source of light will move over time. The most effective general lighting comes from above, slightly in front, and to the side of the arrangement. Make sure your lighting helps describe the three-dimensional quality of your objects.
Are there objects of varying size and character? Are both regular and irregular shapes or objects represented in your composition? Harmony is important for your final arrangement of objects, but some variety can make your drawing interesting to look at. The way you make marks can determine the type of texture. Using a pencil, practice in your sketchbook make a variety of marks creating the illusion of different textures.
It is not necessary to laboriously draw every detail of a surface to disclose its identity to the viewer. A few indications of textures with intelligent editing may be sufficient. For example, you do not have to draw every cable stitch to characterize a cable-knit sweater. In fact, it is often better to suggest a textural pattern over a part of a surface and allow the viewer’s imagination to carry it across the whole form. The drawing can be very detailed where the fabric is illuminated by the light source and a line can be used to suggest only the broader details if the fabric turns into the shadow.
Finally, you may want to make the still life more personal. Consider the meaning of the objects so they tell a story about you—an “un-self portrait,” if you will. A self -portrait is a picture a person draws of his or her own face but an un-self portrait can be a drawing that contains objects that tell a story about you.
The objects can be things you like, or they can depict things you like to do. If you like to read, play a sport, go shopping, garden, bake, fish, or dance, what objects might you decide to include in your still life to make it meaningful to you?
Whatever objects you include in your still life, remember that accurate drawing technique is fundamental

Proverbs 22:6
We know it to be true because it is God’s Word – authoritative, infallible, and inerrant. But what does it mean, and do we understand it correctly?Let us begin with Hebrew.Train up, Chanak – to train, dedicate, inaugurateA child, Na`ar – a boy, lad, servant, youth, retainerIn the way, Derek – way, road, distance, journey, manner, path, direction, habit, course of life, moral characterAnd when he is old, Zaqen – to grow old, show ageHe will not depart, Cuwr – to turn aside, depart, avoid, to be removed, to come to an end, take away, put away, depose, to put aside, leave undone, retract, reject, abolish (biblestudytools.com)One attempt at paraphrasing might look like this: “Dedicate and train up a young one in the correct course of moral character, and when they grow old, they will not turn away from it.”But here is the question – what, exactly, is “it”? (i.e., the last word in this verse) Is “it” the training – Chanak (word 1 above) or is “it” the way – Derek (word 3 above), or perhaps both? This is what sometimes drives the question above – we have all seen children, who were raised in a biblical context, choose to walk away from Christian teachings (orthodoxy), rejecting the path or lifestyle (orthopraxy) of biblical Christianity, thus causing Christian parents to both quotes, and be perplexed by, Proverbs 22.6. So does this passage say that they cannot/will not forget the teachings (Chanak) of the Faith, in which they were raised, or does this passage say they cannot/will not leave the way (Derek)?Part of the answer to this depends on one’s beliefs either in humanity’s free will (Arminianism) or God’s preordination (Calvinism). This conversation has been going on for the better part of 500 years, so we will not settle that discussion here. Many a parent has wept and interceded for a child currently choosing to reject the Cross. God hears those prayers, which are powerful. Here is some food for thought – we might at least agree that once a child has been taught and disciplined in the Truth of the Bible, by Godly parents who have modeled a vibrant Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, that child cannot and will not escape the immortal Truths of Scripture, whether they choose to accept, believe and live the Gospel life for themselves or not.This much we know – God’s Word stands as the supreme rule of faith and conduct for our lives. It is entirely true, to guide in a life well-lived.Think about these things…[supanova_question]

1. Calculating Future Values – You have $20,000 you want to invest
1. Calculating Future Values – You have $20,000 you want to invest for the next 40 years. You are offered an investment plan that will pay you 7 percent per year for the first 20 years and 11 percent per year for the last 20 years. How much will you have at the end of the 40 years? Does it matter if the investment plan pays you 11 percent per year for the first 20 years and 7 percent per year for the next 20 years? Why or why not?
2. Finding the time necessary until you pay off a loan is simple if you make equal payments each month. However, when paying off credit cards many individuals only make the minimum monthly payment, which is generally 2% to 3% of the balance or $10 whichever is greater. Locate the credit card calculator at www.fincalc.com and work out this exercise:
You currently owe $10,000 on a credit card with a 17% interest rate and a minimum payment of $10 or 2% of your balance.
– How soon will you pay off this debt if you make the minimum payment each month?
– How much total interest will you pay using that method?
– Calculate how soon you would pay off this debt if you paid $100 per monthly payment.
3. Find the retirement calculator at www.moneychimp.com to answer the following questions. Suppose you have $1,500,000 when you retire and want to withdraw an equal amount each year for the next 30 years.
– How much can you withdraw each year if you earn 7%
– What if you can earn 9%?
– What if the market failed and your earnings dropped to -.5%. How long would it take to drain your account if you did nothing about this loss pattern?
This is a classic retirement problem. A friend is celebrating her birthday and wants to start saving for her anticipated retirement. She has the following years to retirement and retirement spending goals:
– Years until retirement: 30
– Amount to withdraw each year: $90,000
– Years to withdraw in retirement: 20
– Interest rate: 8%
Because your friend is planning ahead, the first withdrawal will not take place until one year after she retires. She wants to make equal annual deposits into her account for her retirement fund.
a. If she starts making these deposits in one year and makes her last deposit on the day she retires, what amount must she deposit annually to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement?
b. Suppose your friend just inherited a large sum of money. Rather than making equal annual payments, she decided to make one lump-sum deposit today to cover her retirement needs. What amount does she have to deposit today?
c. Suppose your friend’s employer will contribute to the account each year as part of the company’s profit-sharing plan. In addition, your friend expects a distribution from a family trust several years from now. What amount must she deposit annually now to be able to make the desired withdrawals at retirement?
– Employer’s annual contribution: $1,500
– Years until trust fund distribution: 20
– Amount of trust fund distribution: $25,000
4. Time value of money. In our opening case study, why would the Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (TMCC) be willing to accept such a small amount today ($1,163) in exchange for a promise to repay about 9 times that amount ($10,000) in the future (30 years)?
– Would you—why or why not? Outline the considerations you used in making your answer.
– Would your answer depend on who is making the promise to repay? Explain your conclusions.[supanova_question]
