The only drawing requirement for the face was that students were to draw a "double" face that appears to be from two points of view (straight forward and profile). Students chose to use either drawing chalk, oil pastel, or construction paper crayons to fill their portraits with color. They then used a thick black oil pastel or white crayon to trace over their lines and clean up the drawing.
This was a very polarizing lesson. Students either LOVED making silly abstracted faces, or they HATED being asked to draw something that was so unrealistic. In either case, students were introduced to the father of Cubism and were able to recognize the significance of his artwork. It became a learning moment as students began to express their preferences for artistic styles.
