Picasso Cubism Portraits
WHAT IS CUBISM?
Cubism began in France in 1907
This changed the way people painted – now people and subjects were not painted as they were supposed to look
Artists began to paint in a style that look like the subject is broken up into little cubes – that’s cubism!
Picasso and Braque co founded this new art form as a a means of adding depth and multiple dimensions of a one dimensional object. Mouths, noses, ears, and eyes are arranged differently, often utilizing geometric forms. Picasso’s favored motifs were still lives of human faces and figures

6. Picasso Cubism Portraits
Cubists wanted to show all the sides of an object in the same picture, as a means of adding depth and multiple dimensions of a one dimensional object.
Docents, have students look at the face in Juan Gris' Portrait of Picasso.
Ask students of they can see his face, what his hands are holding (a paint palette)
Gris in his portrait shows you every detail of Picasso's face even though you would never be able to see all sides of his face at the same time, this is a wonderful example of Cubism as Cubists wanted to show all the sides of an object in the same picture, as a means of adding depth and multiple dimensions of a one dimensional object.

7. PICASSO’S CUBISM PORTRAITS

PICASSO’S CUBISM PORTRAITS
Lecture Woman Reading 1932
Portrait of Dora Maar 1937
Docents please have students pay attention to the fact in these portraits mouths, noses, ears, and eyes are arranged differently, often utilizing geometric forms. Picasso’s favored motifs were still lives of human faces and figures, cubism is about creating an interesting face that reflects duality and dimension, and using it to convey emotion. The painting looked like someone had cut them up and glued them back together and that is the inspiration for today’s art project.

8. Picasso Cubism Portraits
Process:
Draw yourself – one half should be your front view. The other half your profile (side view of your face)
Draw facial features in different places: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, neck, hair, shirt.
Color in with skin tones and bright colors.
Break background into cubes and color in BRIGHT colors
Outline in black your features so they POP!
Sign your name on the front with “Picasso” as your last name!
Remind students about making sure they incorporate Picasso’s cubism style. They are not creating a traditional self portrait. They need to use lots of colors and make sure that things aren't in the normal places! Encourage them to use their imagination about showing all the facial features from different angles creating dimension.
