Cubist works often depict figures and portraits in a highly contorted way, often revealing a Halloween mask or something: Definitely a creep factor involved in Cubism. We took that to our advantage and discussed how we could create a Halloween spook or ghoul by making a single portrait from two different viewpoints : the front and the side (profile).
The students used cut paper to create the monster portraits, adding large noses, two different types of eyes (they look different from different viewpoints). and howling mouths full of gnarly teeth. Then, they added all of the gruesome features that go along with the their scary spooks, so much extra details and flowing ideas from the students that we had to add some paper to the background to fit witch hats, glowing moons, and other scary scenes.
What a great way to learn about Cubism!
