Cubist Instruments
By studying cubism, students will learn about the history of the movement. Students will take a close look at Picasso and Braque's work in collage elements and cubist elements.
Procedures:
1. After reviewing Picasso and Braque with a video (several titles are available - see resource list) and a text portion of Cubism (Art History), students are set up with a ruler, newsprint, pencil and eraser. Have a group of objects set up in the room for a still life. Ken likes to use the same things Picasso and Braque used such as guitars, wine bottles, fruit, violins, trumpets, etc.
2. With the students around the still life have them begin with a few straight lines on the newsprint, some vertical, some horizontal and some diagonal (about five to start). Talk to them about stylization and simplification of form into to flat shape.
3. When they start to draw these contours of objects, have them start at the top and move down the page. When they get to the lines, shift over and continue to draw the object. Add more lines from parts of the objects that they have started. Have them make at least three studies differing the object used and new lines.
4. Pick out the best design and transfer it to the scrap matt board and this will be the color of the picture.
5. Outline the design with a narrow black pen. Plan out a value pattern using a black felt tip pen.
6. Select at least three areas to collage newspapers or sheet music and use a spray adhesive to glue them down.
7. Use the palette and watercolors to produce a faux wood grain by painting lines, blending with a moistened brush and putting a tone across the area for a light value.
8. Lastly use white and black charcoal pencils and graphite pencils to draw into shapes and make gradations where you like.

Creating the Color Wheel
In order to understand the basics of color theory, students will create a color wheel entirely from primary colors as well as black and white. Each color wheel will be divided into twelve sections and split into three levels. Each level will contain a pure hue, a tint and a shade. When complete, students will create a monochromatic design for the background area using only black and white paint.
