This is an excellent lesson for second through fifth graders! I used copy paper, pencils and markers but crayons work too. It's easy and fun! First, have students google information on Pablo Picasso and Cubism. Next, draw an oval for the head and neck and shoulders. Draw a line down the middle of the face with a nose pointing either left or right. Draw the eyes, ears, nose, eyebrows, ears, two different halves of a mouth all in different places. Experiment with different ways to create a crazy, mixed-up, cubist face which also included some crazy hair (using different types of lines). Add a mustache? Add arms and legs? Sure! Go for it! Just use lots of different colors and place the features in strange places. Key to the above results is coloring evenly and not using dried out markers. We outlined with black sharpie if you have one. Enjoy!
