Cubism Animal Portraits


Before you understand the project, 
you must understand CUBSIM... 


Pablo Picasso Dog 1928


Franz Marc 1912- Expressionistic Cubism




Criteria-
-Choose animal to use for your subject- Better to go big or zoom in than small and detailed. 
-Draw the animal using style points from CUBISM: 
angular, not round, broken up, values in each piece, 

I started with my animal using regular lines, 
but then retraced using angular lines. 

-Draw sections that divide the work into broken pieces. 
( as big as Oreo Cookie, no smaller than Jolly Rancher)
-Outline the MAIN outlines with Fine Black Sharpie. 
-Color each area of the paper with COLOR BLENDING. 
Choose colors that blend well (anbalagous or tints and shades)

Making Stickers

 

Student Stickers
Davis's 3 stickers

Jackie.                             Kai

Sticker Steps
Draw your design lightly with pencil first. 
Outline with color if desired. Erase pencil marks. 

Color with your choice of material. 
I used Bic Intensity Markers. 

"Laminate" with thick tape. 
It is best to do ALL stickers at the same time with Large Pieces of tape. 
Rub the tape down really good with something hard to get bubbles out. 
Cut out if desired. Leaving a white halo around the sticker looks professinal.

Beginning Art

Advanced ART
You must use drawings to fill up your words and background. 
I will need to see at least SEVEN(7) objects drawn within the design. 
Draw things that you are interested in or  that define you.
(your favorite people, animals, foods, cartoons, places, or common objects in your life.)
If you have room left around the drawings, you can fill those up with patterns & designs. 
Leave NO WHITE! 

SHAPE LETTERS
You will need to FILL IN your name with color. 
You cannot fill in a LINE, so....
You must make it a SHAPE!
Here is how I like to teach Shape letters. I call this method 
"Trace and Erase".
