In this highly interactive 30 minute lesson students use their eyes to spy apples or other fruit in paintings by Renoir, Picasso, and Matisse, then discover how these celebrated artists used color to convey the apple's appearance. Looking at a real apple under different lighting conditions helps students see how light affects form.
