7th Grade Picasso Portrait Value Study line, shape, value Objective The student will understand how different materials create different line qualities. The student will listen to and follow several verbal instructions which guide them in creating different line qualities. • Materials – 2 sheets newsprint – to do practice sketch - ideas – to lean shading hand on to prevent smudging – 9x12 white drawing paper – pencils 6H, 2H, HB, 6B – erasers – Q-TIPS, smudgers, paper towel • Class Periods - 2 • Pre-class Prep: print copies of slide 17 - enough for your class (4 rows of squares) • make sure pencils are sharpened • Set Up: day 1 – set out pencils, paper – WATCH THIS VIDEO TO UNDERSTAND STEPS – http://www.slide.com/r/fyDr8ddT5j9TqRG_SxPDK0O7t3DHrG7p?map=2&cy=bb • Make sure the students put their name and date on every project!

Picasso Portrait Value Studyline, shape, value
ObjectiveThe student will understand how different materials create different line qualities. The student will listen to and follow several verbal instructions which guide them in creating different line qualities.
• Materials
– 2 sheets newsprint
– to do practice sketch - ideas
– to lean shading hand on to prevent smudging
– 9x12 white drawing paper
– pencils 6H, 2H, HB, 6B
– erasers
– Q-TIPS, smudgers, paper towel
• Class Periods - 2
• Pre-class Prep: print copies of slide 17 - enough for your class (4 rows of squares)
We are creating a view of a profile and a full face.
Two points of view to be seen simultaneously.
1. Using an HB pencil, draw a large oval shape. It should take up most of the paper.
2. Draw curves down the middle of the oval to create a profile.
There should be a forehead, nose, lips, and chin. Look at someone near you for reference.
3. Draw in eyes. Any shape they want because this is an abstract project. To get a more realistic shape, start by
making a "rainbow curve" on the top under it, to make a "happy face smile"
4. (Slide 15) Find the lips and draw a sideways "V" to define the edge of the mouth. You choose size. Repeat on
the other side.
5. Add eyebrows, ears, hair, and a small "C", normally or backwards depending on which direction the profile nose
points.
6. Now have them think of 2-3 shapes.
Figure 8's and stars are used in the example on slide 16.
Draw these shapes right over the face.
Make the shapes very large.
The shapes should overlap each other.
Later, they can use the sharpies to go over the pencil lines they like, avoiding any they didn't like.
When they are done they can erase any lines they don't like and it won't affect the darkened lines.
7. Using the techniques used to create the value scales, shade in each space that has been made from the overlapping
lines.
• No two same values can touch each other. So no two white or black or gray shapes can touch each other except at
the corners.
• Encourage kids to put contrasting values next to each other to create more interest and drama.
• They can use any type of shading technique in this step. What matters is the value.
• They can use the Q-Tips for blending.
•symmetry - in drawing, is a balanced arrangement of lines and shapes, on opposite sides of an often-imaginary centerline (the line of symmetry)
•asymmetry - one side does not reflect the other side
Portraits of women painted by Picasso in his lifetime.
In Cubism, different planes can be viewed all at the same time.
You can see both a profile (side view)and a front view.

About Picasso
Picasso lived in Spain, he spoke Spanish and his first words were “piz, piz” – a shortening of the Spanish word for pencil. Picasso’s father was also an artist. When Picasso was 13, his father found him painting over one of his sketches and realized the young Picasso would be a better painter than himself.He co-founded Cubism and produced a monumental 20,000 artworks during his 70-year career.
vocabulary• symmetry - in drawing is a balanced arrangement of lines and shapes, on opposite
sides of an often-imaginary centerline.
• asymmetry - the opposite of symmetry, when one side does not reflect the other side
• Shape - the outward outline of a form. Basic geometric shapes include circles, squares and triangles.
• abstract - not realistic but expressive, imaginative or creative way to show the essence of something
• cubism - subject matter is broken up, studied and reassembled in an abstracted, geometric form
• Shading - the various shades of gray (values) in a drawing that make drawings look three-dimensional.
• Tone - a quality of a color coming from it’s saturation.
• Value - the different shades of gray created by various means, such as when you
draw by varying both the density of the shading lines, and the pressure used in
