THE PLAN
10 sessions; 50 minutes per session
1. SWBAT identify and create monochromatic color schemes.
2. SWBAT mix and apply acrylic paint with skill.
3. SWBAT identify and utilize principles of Cubism.
1. Acrylic Paint—Any primary or secondary colors
—Back and white for creating tints and shades
2. Wood Panel (or Canvas Paper or Canvas Board)
—You can substitute and substrate that can handle acrylic paint)
3. Paint Brushes
4. Pencils
5. Sketch Paper
6. Images of subject matter
1. Choose an instrument and related image(s).
—Instructors should have these pre-selected
2. Translate the image using only straight lines and geometric shapes.
—Have students create multiple sketch variations
3. Choose a final design.
4. Shade in your final design to indicate light and dark values.
5. Transfer design final panel.
—We did this by eyeballing it (no special transfer paper)
6. Choose a single color (plus black and white).
7. Paint!
—Students should use their final design shading to inform their colors.
—Try to stick with a painting a single value at a time (lightest first).
8. Let it dry and then hang it up for the world to see!
Students are assessed on a rubric that is given out before the project. They are graded on a scale of 0-3 for categories including: Craft, Use of Materials and Technique, and Use of Class Time.
1. Make sure to precede this lesson with a lesson or two on the history of Cubism!

2. Make sure you (as the instructor) create a couple examples before letting the kids try their hand at it. This will ensure that sure you have a solid grasp on the process.
