Understanding still life drawing begins somewhere, and these three shapes are perhaps three of the most essential shapes to producing anything complex. Yesterday my students completed their first composition drawing based on this arrangement and, although they admit it was a challenge for them, I am quite pleased with their product at the end of the day. Unfortunately I didn't bring my camera with me so I couldn't get a picture of their work, but I feel this picture gives a good sense of the composition so it will suffice.
