Idea 1: Set up a still-life arrangement in your room. Compare and contrast the difference between that, a photograph of a still life, and a painted still life, along with this abstracted painting.

Idea 2: Cut shapes out of paper to create our own abstraccted, cubist still life.

Idea 3: Recreate your version of this painting using three-dimensional form. (balls, tubes, cylinders, pyramids, etc.)

Idea 4: Paint a still life using only three or four colors.
