Picasso Eyes Term: 3 Year: 2007 How To: Students looked at a number of Picasso's artworks ( including The Spanish Weeping Woman from NGV International) before drawing ideas and facial shapes in their visual diaries. They were asked to use as many different shapes and patterns as possible in their planning. The boys chose their favourite shapes, cut and positioned them on to a larger sheet, before redrawing the pieces in the desired place. Colour theory was discussed and the boys were asked to demonstrate their understanding of warm and cool colours in the pieces. Many grouped colours together to show the cool or warm colour relationships. They painted the pieces with Chromacryl paint and outlined the works with Micador black oil pastels. As the term progressed, they looked at the way shapes can be abstracted and simplified. The human eye was the focus of this activity and the boys were asked to represent a stylised view of an eye. The pieces were painted with Chromacryl, applying their knowledge of tone and shade. Scotch College
