Christmas Final Exam...

 

This is the blank bulb the students are given on an 8by10 inch piece of computer paper.

They are graded bast on intricacy and creativity of design idea (20 pts.), use of space (40 pts.), and neatness of coloring and lines (40 pts.). 

I tell them if the bulb is very detailed, that the background does not have to be as detailed, vise versa. 

I stress the idea of proving themselves through their time and effort put into the work. 

 

I allow them to use their faith as part of their design if desired... 

or 

 

just think of the bulb as a hanging sphere that is needing to be filled with design. 

YAY!!!! Schools out, have a great break.

 

Cubism Portraits

What is CUBISM?

 THE ART MOVEMENT

Early 20th Century Paris, France

Who stARTed CUBISM?

Pablo Picasso and George Braque

Pablo Picasso Cubism Portrait

Georges Braque Cubism Portrait

To capture the idea of Cubism, try to understand that it is seeing one object from multiple perspectives at one time. Imagine me taking a picture of a student from the front, back, and side. 

Then I take the tangible pictures of them and cut them up into pieces. 

I rearrange them in a different order, then draw the new arrangement.

There may be 3 eyes, 2 noses, and features from different angles... 

but that is the point!

My definition. Creating like you are seeing something as if it was in a shattered mirror. 

Things are shifted, titled, and out of order. 

Notes from  my Journal: 

MANY ARTIST HAVE BEEN 

INSPIRED BY CUBISM

KatoCreative.com

Brenda Kato

She used to teach High School and Elementary Art like me, 

but is now a successful freelance artist, children's book illustrator and more. 

I may like her portraits more than Picassos!

TEACHER EXAMPLES

CUBISM PORTRAIT COLLAGE

This is a cubism self portrait collage. 

I drew my eyes, nose, lips, and things I use often scattered on paper. I drew some on other pieces of paper too & pieces it together, 

CUBISM PORTRAIT DRAWING

1. On 12 by 18 white paper, divide the area into a variety of sections using a pencil.

Have 10-15 areas somewhat evenly drawn out.

2. In each section, draw at least 2 eyes (each from different angle), 1 nose, 1 mouth, and an ear.

They can also include parts of hair, neck, chin, cheeks, accessories, but do not need to include body parts below the neck. 

3. Emphasize the pencil lines with either a sharpie, other markers, or use a harder line of whatever they are coloring with. This is keep the details they worked so hard on from disappearing after the coloring process.

4. After emphasizing, color using a theme

 (blue period, rose period, neutral tones, or abstract colors).

The above examples of mine is sort of a cubist self-portrait drawing using crazy abstract colors.

I tried to keep things in the relative area they are naturally in.

 

This example of mine is using more neutral tones 

and it is harder to see who the person is in the portrait.

This is because the features are more various and jumbled around in the composition.

 

ARE YOU READY?

Before you begin, practice each facial feature seperately.
