During this lesson, students will explore the artistic technique of cubism through the lens of renowned artist Pablo Picasso. They will engage in crafting their own snowman, drawing inspiration from the cubist movement and Picasso's style. The lesson starts with a presentation delving into Pablo Picasso's life, his significant contributions to cubism, and essential background information. The presentation covers various aspects such as definitions, and biographical details including family background. Following the presentation, students will receive guided instruction from the teacher on sketching the snowman using pencils, ensuring attention to detail. Once the sketching phase is completed, students will proceed to outline their drawings using black markers. By using crayons, students infuse their snowmen with vibrant colors, allowing for creative expression and individualized design choices. Upon completing their snowman illustrations, students will use white oil pastels to create delicate snowflakes against a backdrop of watercolor wash. The teacher will provide guidance on watercolor techniques, ensuring the optimal visual effect. As students attend to final touches, the teacher facilitates a brief review, prompting students to recall Picasso's identity and involvement in the cubist movement, while offering commendation for their efforts. Completed artworks are then placed on drying racks and later proudly showcased in the hallway display.
An extension activity could be that if it was winter, the kids could go outside and build their own snowman and connect it with a science class.
