My junior and senior students, were studying color schemes and cubism. After researching George Braque and Pablo Picasso's Cubism the drew portraits of one another, then traced over their lines with a triangle. In some cases they needed to eliminate information to simplify their composition. That concept was particularly challenging, but after a few drafts they got it. The transferred their drawings to stretched canvas then used acrylic paint and a color scheme of their choice to paint their portraits. I taught them that acrylics are very forgiving, so that when they felt they were painting outside of an area or that an angled shape wasn't what they desired they could simply paint over it. They are very proud of their creations.
