Year 9 Unit - Cubist Still Life

This unit of work is based on twelve 50minute lessons (semester).

Students explore cubist arts and look at musical instruments to create their own still life. I played experimental music during lessons to bring together the theme of the unit.

The unit outline:

1. Discussion on the Cubist Art Movement using a power point to show examples.
2. Further exploration into the Cubist Art Movement with an emphasis on their style and techniques.
3. Observational drawing of a Still Life arrangement x3.
4. Development of one of the Still Life observational drawings using a variety of materials and techniques.
5. Combining the 3 Still Life observational drawings to create one A3 sketch showing multiple views in the style of the Cubists.
6. Demonstrations developing and combining different materials which are then added to the A3 sketch to create a final piece.
