This Art and design video guides learners through the process of arranging a still-life composition in preparation for painting. Learners explore how to organise objects thoughtfully, experimenting with angles, overlapping, and contrast to create an interesting layout. They work from a bird’ s-eye view, sketch their chosen composition, and consider the scale and placement of each object to prepare for the final painting.
