KIDS ART: CUBISM FOR KIDS!

1. CUBISM FOR KIDS! - INTRO: Pablo Picasso is a Spanish painter and father of Cubism, a modern art style. Some of us famous paintings are low rev, Three Musicians as well. And the old guitarist, as you see here, we're going to create and draw our own Cubists like drawings and marked complete with a mini art history lesson as well. So come along and have some fun. 2. SUPPLIES NEEDED: In this project and for the class, you will need Crayola markers or even favorite Gastel markers in multiple colors. Elmer's glue, either clear or opaque, a pair of scissors. And you will need newspaper clippings or magazine clippings, or even just origami paper with different designs on them, like we have here. Finally, we will need some card stock paper. The thicker the paper that better so that it will hold the glue and the markers won't seep through. As you can see here, this card stock paper is rather thick. 3. PROJECT: In this project, we're going to make a face with a guitar. And the shapes are made with eyes and different elements such as a nose, lips, and a guitar in here. Or you can make a different object, a different image with a saxophone playing music with eyes and a musical instrument. And it has triangle notes and notes coming out of it and collages on the triangles. And it's very colorful and pretty. 4. CUBISM DRAWING: "GUITAR-FACE"": For our first design, we're going to draw a cubist face with a guitar. How are we gonna do this? We're going to use our markers in multiple colors. First, we're going to start out with black upon the white paper. And we're going to draw the face. So we're going to start with a line at the top. And then we're gonna go down and we're gonna make the nose. Nose will be a triangle. As you can see here. Cubism is made up with different shapes. So we're going to try and implement this in our drawing. And I'm going to keep going down with the line to continue the face and make a chin like so. And then I'm going to make a neck. So as you can see here, it's starting to take shape and it looks like a face a little bit. We're gonna make a nostril going up. And then to make it even look more unusual, we're going to make an Austrian going down. So it looks more abstract. And then I'm gonna put on the lips. And they're gonna be kind of a 3D kind of lip. So I'm going to partition the lip in two different ways. On the top and on the bottom. And it's gonna be split with a line in the middle. Then I'm going to make it look even more funky with like an eye. And I'm going to put the pupil in the center. And the pupil is going to be a square, but it's gonna be a square that's kinda flipped on its side. So in the inside there's gonna be a little, another little square, and that's gonna be the pupil which we're going to color in later. But first we're going to color in the first square in black. So there's a use of black and also of the positive and negative space, the black and the white. And we're going to use our eyelashes now. And we're going to make another eye. But this one is not gonna be open. It's gonna be a sideways looking eye with the pupil looking at the other eye. How unusual is that? But that's the whole purpose of making something cubist. It looks very unusual. And 3D like. Pablo Picasso was one of the most prolific artist of the 20th century. He produced over 1,800 paintings and over 201,200 sculptures. Today, many of his paintings are sold for over $100 million. By the way. Who was born in 18, 81 and died in 1973. Picasso was a Spanish artist. Next, I'm going to add the eyebrow. As a child, Picasso was a child prodigy and he showed talent way beyond his ears. He actually went to art school and he finished at 19 and moved to France. Now we're adding some hair, adding some curly hair. We're going to be coloring this in with the markers that we have picked out. Now we're going to be drawing the guitar, and this is the stem of the guitar. So I'm going to split this into three triangles. And they're very long triangles as you see here. And I'm going to finish that off by adding the hub of the guitar, which is a circle. But I'm going to add two more circles within them so that it looks more like it has some depth in it, some 3D. And then I'm going to add the guitars hole. Now you can make yours a little better than mine, of course. And this is the guitar's string part that I add two rectangles within each other. And then I'm going to finish it off by adding the rest of the hair of this person's face. Picasso's famous for the, for being the father of the Cubist movement. He learned to paint like the masters before him in the classical style. But he wanted to break free and make something new. And that new thing that he invented was the Cubist movement. We're adding two more circles just to make it look unusual. One on the cheek and one on the chin. Up. We forgot one more thing. We're going to add the guitars, little string elements. Here. Three on each side. This looks very neat. Now for our colors, we're going to start by using red for the lips, but we're not going to make the red on only one part of the lip. We're going to make red on the top part and then on the bottom part. And then we're going to switch colors for Picasa first can the Blue Period which just 1901-1904, where he painted, he painted primarily in blue. In addition to hit the subjects that where he painted in blue, they were sad and somber looking and their foot forms were very elongated. Some paintings that he painted or poor people on the seashore and also the old guitarist. We're continuing with our red motif here and picking elements in our drawing and keeping and drawing some more in red, like the hair and the stem of the guitar. And some of the rectangles of the guitar. Next came the rose period, which was 1904-1906. He used warmer colors and tones like pinks, reds, orange and beiges. In these paintings, he painted happier scenes like circuses and circus people. And some paintings from that period were known as mother and child at the circus. And also the peasants, which were painted in rows. For our drawing, we're going to be using some orange on the hair. I decided to alternate colors in my drawing. But you can do what you want. Or you can follow along and do exactly as I do on this painting, on this drawing. I use orange on the cheek. And once I'm finalized and once I've done filling that in, I move along to the circle on the guitar. There's other places I can use the orange, and part of it is the stem of the guitar. And maybe one more place to the chin. As you can see here. I use my marker to fill out the chin in orange as well. So I would love to see some of what you do. So feel free to attach it to the description down below. Now for the eyes, I'm going to use some green in the pupils and follow it up with some green in the hair. This is a very abstract piece. So I try and mix it up with different colors. The cube, this is the Cubist movement. The Cubist movement in art was 1907-1921. Picasso's next phase came from 1907 and lasted 14 years. Here he experienced, experimented with a new style of painting with Georgia Brock. And by 1909, they had created a brand new style of painting called Cubism. The artworks of pulses on our sets have been the main inspiration for cubism. Once I'm done with the green, I pick up the pink and color in the nose. So what is cubism? You ask, there are two major examples, the three musicians and another painting called Woman in White. Cubism is an innovative art movement. In cubism, artists began to look at their subjects in new ways in order to depict three-dimensions on the flat surface. On the flat surface of a canvas, they'd break up subjects into many different shapes and repaint them from different angles. Popular subjects to be painted by cubist work, musical instruments, as you see here, a guitar. People, as you see here, a face, bottles, glasses, and playing cards. But there were very few Cuba's landscapes. Now we've moved on to the yellow for the hair, a little bit in the guitar, and also on the lips. Where else can I put yellow? I'm going to accentuate the eyes with yellow. This is a great way of making the colors pop out a little bit. Because yellow is a bold color. This bright color mix the ice come out. I believe I have two more colors to go. The purple in the last part of the guitar, and an accentuated piece on the chin. And finally, I'm going to utilize the blue for the interior piece of the guitar. Feel free to look at the bonus design that I've created, which is a saxophone and some eyes. This piece has collagenous. Thank you for watching. 5. CUBISM COLLAGE: "SAXOPHONE-EYES": Cubism, as we said in the previous lesson, is a grand art style method which depicts 3D reality through geometric shapes on a 2D canvas. Popular subjects painted by Cubists or musical instruments. As we see here, we're painting a saxophone. And people bottles, glasses, painting cards, but very few landscapes. Established on or about 19:07, cubist artists depict their subjects through the use of geometrical shapes and objects from a variety of perspectives of that subject. The term cubism was coined by Louis Vuitton cell, 20th century art critic. Why did cubism become popular? We say Pablo Picasso, along with George's Brock and Jean Metzinger, were the fathers of cubism. But it couldn't be said that pulse is on, is it's grandfather. As we see here, this work, picasso, Brock and Metzinger have all noted that Susan profoundly influenced their works. Suzanne provided inspiration. The cubist artists took their style further forwards towards experimentation. We're placing the eyes on this drawing now to make it look more cubist. Picasso, e.g. was influenced by highly stylized African tribal masks. He also applied the non naturalistic and really fractured styles to his own art. This end, the Parisian lifestyle really influenced Picasso's cubist works. As we see in girl with mandolin. He applied multiple viewpoints to a single versus a single viewpoint. What is the Cubism? Cubism collage, as we see here, which is what we are trying to achieve. Now we're applying color, a bold yellow color on the drawing. Defined by fractured forums and deconstructed subject matter. Cubism collages is paired perfectly with the collage approach as it is enabled, it has enabled artists to literally piece together a picture from non-similar components. Also, unlike painting, paintings, collages didn't ask, didn't risk appearing flat. Picasso's still life with chair canning was one of the first collage works by Picasso and Brock. And it's the first, and it's also the most developed collage, like Picasso. Like Picasso and Brock. We will make a collage as we are doing here by pasting paper and creating layer instructor, instructor. But first we're going to make the colors. So now we're using the pink on the saxophone. So we're going to use yellow, pink, blue, green, red, and orange amongst our colors in the eyes, on the saxophone and on the triangles. And once we're done doing that, we're going to collage some origami paper on the triangles with glue. And that we are going to collage this to achieve cubist collage. What are the characteristics of cubist collage? So to achieve that, there are four ways to do so. The application of multiple perspectives, the use of geometric shapes. A monochrome color palette with a meaning, a muted palette, and also a flattened picture plane. Now we're applying some blue to the ice. Cube isms use of form, color and perspective is shifted, has shifted the existing conventions of European modernist painting. Of that time. The artists at that time began using texture and pattern to their paintings to experiment with the use of collage by using newspaper print and pattern pink paper as we are doing here. So it's just another form and way of tests, testing use of pattern and print on their paintings. Once we're doing, we're done applying our color. We are going to apply layer and texture to our drawing. So we're done with the green. And now we're going to use some purple on the saxophone and some green, and some more green. And we're going to use some red. And maybe also on the notes to make it pop a little bit. The orange and on the notes as well. Then finally, we move on to using the glue here. But first we're going to cut out the origami paper. I have chosen to use origami paper with musical notes on it because I feel that it's very appropriate as this is a musical instrument. Now you can choose to either use, draw a saxophone or another musical instrument. Either a guitar or a violin, or a flute of your choosing and embellish it the way that you please. And create musical notes or circles. However you wish to embellish it. And don't forget to attach your creations to the description down below so that all of us can see it. And you can be proud of what you do and we can see it. And I'd love to see what you've created. So once you've cut out your triangles in multiple, multiple shapes, you create. You fit them to what you've drawn. And you glue them in place. With the glue. I've used Elmer's glue. So I put a little bit of Elmer's glue and I put each one in place. That's the second triangle. And there goes the third triangle.
