Directions:
● On the sketch paper, write down a physical form ( cat, dog, you, etc.) that you want to create. Think about the type of personality (happy, crazy, sleeping, etc.) you want your physical form to have.
● On the sketch paper, draw your physical form/object and it’s “personality,” (example: angry cat).
● Use cardstock to draw what you sketched.
● Use whatever medium you choose to fill in your drawing. (crayons, paint, markers, etc.)
● Cut your art piece in different fragmented geometric shapes.
● Think about the placement in which you want to put these geometric shapes once they are cut out.
● Think about the form you are going to create with these geometric shapes. Will it be dream-like, realistic, etc.?
● Before you bind these shapes to the cardstock, assemble the shard geometric shapes on the cardstock to determine placement of the shapes.
● When you're happy with how it looks, start binding these shapes down with (glue, tape, etc.)
Questions to ask yourself:
● How did you decide what your physical form would be?
● How did you feel when you created your piece to then cut it into fragmented geometric shapes?
● How different is your original sketch from your fragmented piece?
Try this fragmented Cubist style often. It will help you grow as an artist! Be inspired, get creative, and, most importantly, have fun!
