Exit Slip: Is drawing in shapes REALLY
that difficult?
Activity
• Procedure:
1. Using a pencil, draw an organic or geometric shape, filling three
fourths of the page.
2. Understanding that Picasso drew from multiple vantage points, draw a
profile down the center of the shape. Noting the brow line, nose, lips,
and chin.
3. To add interest and ensure that the drawing resembles the style of a
cubist, add details and different views of specific parts of the face. i.e.
possibly draw a profile of the eye on one portion of the face, and a
straight on view on the other.
4. Be sure to use creativity in adding hair, hats, glasses, or clothing to fill
the remaining space.
5. To tie the portrait drawing together, go over the pencil lines with a
black wide permanent marker, colored pencil, or crayon using only
smooth, solid continuous lines.
6. Complete the portrait drawing by shading in each area with colored
pencils and erase any pencil lines that might be showing.
