Use objects already at home to create an image with a little narrative instead of simply arranging matching colors. Gather three ordinary objects, a plain cloth, a table, and a camera or sketchbook.
Set it up
Choose objects that imply a situation, such as a map, a packed notebook, and a closed umbrella suggesting a postponed outing.
Put the idea to work
Place one object as the main focus and use the other two to guide attention without hiding their recognizable shapes.
Finish and keep it useful
Photograph or sketch the arrangement and write a short title that hints at the story without explaining every detail. Avoid adding so many extra props that the original three-object idea becomes hard to recognize.
What story could three objects on your table suggest together?
