The most important questions are in spatial perception and an understanding of reality, compositional relationships of objects and mass,composition nature issues and knowledge of the psychological aspects of color.

Mode of study:

In painting a still life the students are guided to and understanding of individual elements as a material and forms of matter of autonomous actors in a scene. To be able to create living, rich and finally, organic wholes, each individual element must first have its own unmistakeable character.
