Cubist Style Watercolour Paintings

This is a beautiful Analytical Cubist inspired watercolour project that my high school class completed last year.

I posted all the steps previously HERE and HERE.

They had to pick a theme and then draw a few objects related to that theme on watercolour paper. Then they fracture the whole picture using a ruler. Within each section, they paint a gradation using watercolours.

Grade 10 -12 finished artworks!

Cubist Oil Pastel Portraits

The classic Picasso Cubist portrait lesson!

I introduced Grade 5 students to Picasso's colorful Cubist portraits. We discussed the style and elements in his works. They did a practice sketch then drew their good copy on black construction paper.

Then they were coloured using oil pastels.

Students were encouraged to mix and layers colours.

Some Grade 5 finished portraits:
