Cubism in the Classroom

Set up a still life or choose a single object. Make line drawings of the object(s) from a number of different angles on tracing paper:

1. Looking straight at the object(s)
2. Looking at the object(s) from the left
3. Looking at the object(s) from the back
4. Looking at the object(s) from the right
5. Looking at the object(s) from above

Combine the tracing paper drawings in order to create an interesting composition. Overlap them and trace parts of the drawings onto a single sheet of paper (A3/A2). Add paint in flat bold colours or paint in a similar style to Picasso and Braque during their analytical phase, greys and beiges with strong black lines.
