cubomania

Lesson Plan Title : Cubomania

Age Range: Grade 9 through grade 12 (High School)

Overview and Purpose: Cubomania is a technique used in surrealist art. It involves taking a photograph, cutting it up, and reassembling it in a new way. It is an interesting technique.

Objective: The student will be able to use cubomania to create a picture with a black and white photograph.

Resources:

5x7 black and white pictures

Pencils

Scissors

Rulers

5 x 7 pieces of white paper

Glue

Activities:

Discuss cubomania with the class and share some examples of the technique. Give each student a black and white picture, have them mark it off in a half inch grid, and then cut it apart. They can then glue the pieces onto the white paper in a random order.

Do this in Photoshop using selection tool.

Wrap Up:

Students can take turns guessing what the pictures were before they were cut up and reorganized or have fun describing what the new picture is trying to say about the subject. Pictures with a few simple subjects work best for this project.

Photoshop size:

File>New
Size: 5 inches x 5 inches
Resolution: 72
Color Mode: RGB

grid drawing

The grid system

Use of the grid is an artist's method of enlarging a small image and transferring it exactly onto another surface. The grid method is an inexpensive, low-tech way to reproduce and/or enlarge an image that you want to paint or draw. The grid method can be a fairly time-intensive process, depending on how large and detailed your painting will be. While the process is not as quick as using a projector or transfer paper, it does have the added benefit of helping to improve your drawing and observational skills.

In a nutshell, the grid method involves drawing a grid over your reference photo, and then drawing a grid of equal ratio on your work surface (paper, canvas, wood panel, etc). Then you draw the image on your canvas, focusing on one square at a time, until the entire image has been transferred. Once you're finished, you simply erase or paint over the grid lines, and start working on your painting, which will be now be in perfect proportion!

Be able to enlarge a drawing using the grid system

Line: a line is a path left by a moving point

Shape: a two dimensional area with identifiable boundaries.

Geometric shapes: mechanically drawn lines, squares, rectangles, circles.

Organic shapes: shapes based on forms of nature, which are usually rounded, irregular and curving.

Emphasis is given to an area within the design because that area is meant to be seen or is more important to be noticed when compared to other places of the design. Emphasis creates a center of interest.
