Fractured Cubist Style Drawings


This is a great lesson for introducing both Analytical Cubism as well as coloured pencil gradients to junior high students. I previously posted about it HERE where you can see all the steps.

We used 9x12" heavy white tagboard and Prismacolor scholar pencil crayons. 
Students chose any object to draw as well as a simple shape to trace overtop in order to 'fracture' the entire drawing into sections. Colour each section a different colour making sure to use a gradient.
I taught this to a mixed class of Grade 7-9.
