Vanitas is a type of still life that typically included skulls, jewels, fruit, and flowers. Artists included the skulls to remind viewers that death comes to all and the flowers and fruit to show that beauty fades with age. The jewels reminded viewers that the material things of this life aren’t important. Students created personal vanitas drawings, including items that are important to them now, but aren’t in the long run.
