Objective 1

1. Welcome! Are you ready to learn about Cubism and what makes it unique? Come along then, and let’s begin!

2. Objective 1 Given a PowerPoint lesson/presentation, the student will be able to identify and describe how Cubists used the art elements with one hundred percent accuracy.

3. Objective 2 Given a PowerPoint presentation, the student will be able to explain the art movement known as Cubism and some of its history with complete accuracy.

4. Standards VA.3.7.1 2008 Apply elements (line, shape, form, texture, color, and space) and principles (repetition, variety, rhythm, proportion, movement, balance, emphasis) in artwork that effectively communicates ideas. VA.3.7.2 2008 Identify and discriminate between types of lines (characteristics and qualities), shapes (geometric and organic), textures (tactile and visual), colors (primary, secondary, complementary), and space (placement/overlapping/negative/positive/size), in own work and the works of others.

7. Excellent! By clicking on “click” you were brought here! Now, let’s begin our journey about cubism…

8. Cubism was an art movement that started around 1907. In response to the old ways of painting, the cubists went to find something new and different!

9. Cubists played with the perspective of the scene they were painting. They flattened it!

10. Analytical Cubism: • beginning phase of the movement • focused on using geometrical shapes to create a sense of the object

11. Synthetic Cubism: • second phase of movement (1912) • use of collage shapes • cubists used a cut-and-paste style that combined different elements to make the scene

12. Checkpoint How many phases did Cubism have? 3 1 0 2

13. Your answer is correct! Cubism had two phases: the analytic phase and the synthetic phase.

14. I should probably mention the founders of this movement… Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were the leaders of Cubism!

15. Let’s begin our talk about how Cubists used the art elements… This is what makes Cubism unique!

16. Line Shape Click on any of the elements to find out how they were used. Color Texture Form Space Value Activity is next!

17. Cubists distorted the form of the objects they worked with, even the body.

18. Cubists used many shapes because of their focus on geometry. They used…. Cubes Rectangles Circles Cylinders Triangles

20. Cubists, at first, only really used blues, greys, and browns. But in 1912, more color was added!

21. What else happened in 1912 that was discussed earlier in this show?

22. Geometry (n) : study in math that talks about the relationship of lines, shapes, and angles

23. Juan Gris Portrait of Pablo Picasso 1912

24. Pablo Picasso The Weeping Woman 1937

25. Cubists used mostly straight and diagonal lines. This is fitting with the aspect geometry played in the movement.

26. Lyonel FeiningerBarfüsserkiche1924

27. Cubists reworked the idea of space; the back, front and sides of the subject are interchangeable in the scene.

28. Cubists didn’t focus on the texture of the object because they didn’t want it to look realistic. See how the same texture is on every object?

29. Georges Braque Little Harbor in Normandy 1909

30. Although Cubists flattened the perspective, value was used to enhance the scene and make it more recognizable.

31. Jean Metzinger La Femme à l'Éventail, Woman with a Fan 1913

32. Interchangeable (adjective) : when two things are able to be put or used in place of each other

33. Georges Braque Viaduct L’Estaque 1908

34. Pablo Picasso Woman with Mandolin 1910

35. Perspective (n) : technique of creating volumes and spatial relationships on a flat surface

36. Paul Cezanne Bibemus Quarry 1895

37. Pablo Picasso The Guitar Player 1910

38. Georges Braque Violin and Jug 1910

39. Pablo Picasso Glass and Bottle of Suze 1912

40. I’m sorry this is incorrect… Cubism had two phases: the analytic phase and the synthetic phase.

42. Shapes used? What do you see? Colors used? Lines used? Value used? How is the form reworked?

43. Quiz! I know that was a lot of information, but you can do it! Click the “next” button

44. What did cubists do the space of the scene they were painting? Did your answer say something like, “Cubists reworked the space; the different angles were made interchangeable”? Submit

45. Why didn’t Cubists use a lot of texture in their work? Did you say something like, “because they didn’t want to make the image too realistic”? Submit

46. What did Cubists do to the perspective of their works? Made it super realistic They flattened it

47. I’m sorry this is incorrect .... Cubists flattened the perspective of the scene they were painting.

48. Your answer is correct ! Cubists flattened the perspective of the scene they were painting.

49. Finished! Way to go, you have finished this lesson! Now you are an expert on Cubism! Save this to your computer before exiting. And remember, the next time you look at a piece of art, try to see the different art elements the painter used.
