We will be breaking things into shapes & putting them back together — with mixed media, and study cubism, led by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque — seeing subjects from many sides at once.
Day 1: "Side-by-Side" Clay Faces (Clay & Mixed Media) A "Frankenstein" style portrait where one half of the face is looking forward and the other is a profile view.
Day 2: Felted "Fragment" Landscapes Instead of soft, blended clouds, kids must create "hard-edged" clouds by matting wool into sharp triangles. They will layer different shades of green wool in overlapping geometric blocks to represent hills.
Day 3: The Shattered Glass Still Life (Glass & Acrylic) Kids draw a bowl of fruit on the acrylic, then "shatter" the image by gluing glass tiles over specific sections, creating different heights and angles that catch the light like a prism.
Day 4:The Mosaic Mirror Portrait (Glass & Paint) Kids paint their face on a mirror. Then, they glue small mirror fragments at tilted angles over their eyes or nose. When they look at the finished project, their own reflection appears "shattered" and reconstructed, just like a Braque painting.
