Overview of the Cubist Unit

       This instructional unit encompasses several art lessons and an art appreciation web-based search designed for 5th grade art students.  The unit starts with a self-portrait lesson that is teacher directed and will be used as reference for all further study and projects.  The sequence continues with the study of the cubism style of art and particularly one of the cubist founders, Pablo Picasso.  One of the evaluative tools in the WebQuest will be a hands-on project focusing on creating a cubist portrait.  The students will be asked to scan a drawn image, done in the cubist style, into the computer and add color and patterns to the image with the computer program, KidPix Deluxe.  This last activity in the WebQuest can eventually be used as a springboard to another unit on color theory, especially if used with the 3-D color effects of  Hyperstudio.  A culminating activity in this unit will be another portrait, using the same drawing scanned from the computer and finished in a collage technique.
