Portrait, Landscape and Still Life Worksheet
Artist's tip (What is the subject?): Portrait = a person; landscape = land and nature; still life = objects on a table. Seascape = the sea; cityscape = a city; abstract art uses shapes and colours instead of real things. Tall subject → portrait (tall) paper; wide subject → landscape (wide) paper.
