Cubism - Self Portrait
I have cut and paste this stuff from an old teaching program. I taught this artwork many times and it always gave me a laugh....
PROCEDURE:
1.
Take a photo of the
student.
2.
Print the image out as a black, white,
tonal image.Trace around the
face and all details so the portrait can be clearly seen..
3.
Place a dot anywhere on
the face.
4.
From the dot to the edge
of the page, draw FIVE lines.
5.
Cut along the lines to
make five pieces.
6.
On an A3 piece of art paper, put
the original photo back together in the middle of the page.
7.
Then expand the photo by
dragging each piece to the edge of the A3 paper.
8.
Make sure there are even
spaces between each piece as best as you can.
9.
Glue each piece down neatly,
making sure all edges are stuck down.
10.
Now, join up the lines of
the portrait. Parts of the face will become stretched. If an eye or mouth is
cut in half, it can become an extra eye or an extra mouth. Have fun with your
reconstruction!!
11.
OPTIONAL STEP: Fill
in the background around the portrait with geometric shapes This
will give the artwork the appearance of being a “cubist artwork”.
12.
Go over all lines with a
black marker. Make sure your work is neat. Mistakes are very difficult to erase.
13.
Fill in all spaces and
shapes in the artwork using paint. Use as many different colours as possible. No black paint is to be used at this
stage.
14.
Redraw all lines with black marker when
you have finished painting. This will re-establish your original drawing.
15.
Add extra lines with metallic
markers and Posca pens.
16.
LAST STEP: Go around the edge of the
face, hair, eyes, nose and mouth with white Posca pen.
