Picasso Cubism Guitars

RECAP: Blind Contour Drawing

Show Picasso's Three Musicians Now look at this piece? what is it?

where is it?

what do you think you see?

Cubism: objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context

Drawing the same object from several perspectives

What is perspective (viewpoint)

Shade and Tint: light and dark. show them how to add in blocks (like a map) to add in these details

Warm and Cool Blind Contour Grid Drawings with Van Gogh

PREPARATION: print or have the students draw in grid lines on heavy card stock or tag board

DISCUSSION: Line can you have a piece of art without line?

Contour line? what does contour mean? Outside line

Think of a coloring book you can’t color in a stick figure

Blind Contour drawing? what could that mean? Drawing without looking at your paper. 

it is the best way to draw because you are drawing with your eyes, not your brain.

Let’s try it:

Rules for blind contour:

the drawings are timed and we will start with one minute drawings

Pick a point at the top of the flowers let your eyes move all around the contour line 

As your eye moves you should also move your hand holding the charcoal pencil. 

Don’t look at your paper only the flowers as your time starts and your hand begins to move

Don’t pick up your pencil at any time

Don’t stop drawing until the one minute time is called 

If your drawing ends up looking more like a wrecked car than a person…don’t panic…have fun and keep practicing.

We will do this three times until you get the hang of it

Our last drawing will be done on grid tag board/card stock

Quick 2nd Discussion: Van Gogh, warm and cool colors and Prints
