Still Life Remix

Owh! In San Paõ was based on a painting of a coffee pot that Stuart Davis made twenty years earlier. In this painting, he simplified  the coffee pot to just a cylinder, and added the words “else,” “used to be,” and “now.” Can you spot the words and the number 6?

Grab a few containers from your kitchen. They could be spices, cereals, jams, pastas, or canned food. Arrange them in a still life composition. Notice what stands out to you. Create a drawing or a painting using only geometric shapes such as squares, circles, rectangles, triangles, and cylinders. Add a few words that describe the objects in your picture.
