What’s Included In My Cubism Art Project
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesnāt have to be a snoozer, though!

- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas

My students absolutely loved this activity and the pictures they created were so original and creative. I’m so glad I purchased it. It’s easy to use, very little prep, very little instruction need and a whole lot of fun. Thanks for such a great activity……I can’t wait to use it next year.

This was such a fun and informative activity to introduce my classes to Pablo Picasso. My class really enjoyed working with pastels and rolling the die to see what they had to draw. The kids’ pictures turned out great. So much fun!

This was a fun activity to accompany a study of Picasso. I gave my classes the option of using dice or choosing which features they wanted to use as inspiration. It was particularly good for my students who have trouble deciding where to start. The end results were fabulous!
Terms of Use
Please refer to my completeĀ terms of useĀ prior to purchasing.
Ever have an off day where you don’t want to fight students to work, but want to still give them some cultural instruction? I showed a video about Picasso, then this lesson and it went over really well. The students were engaged and loved drawing like Picasso.
This was a fun project I have used for two years and the kids love doing this project. It’s a fun way to teach my class about an artist and an art style without the pressure of making their art perfect.
My students loved this Art Lesson! It encouraged them to try new drawings with the rice rolling aspect. They were all showing off their work to their peers at the end.
This was a great addition to our multicultural week at school.
A+ Engaging activity and printed perfectly without any issues (i printed the game on neon colored paper and placed in sheet protector to re-use in years to come). I bought colorful foam dice for students to roll quietly in the classroom. I also enjoyed this set included a “choose your own” pages for students that shy away from rolling the dice it gives them the option to work independently. The extra exit tickets allow students to leave a reflection on this art lesson that was just an added bonus! Thank you!
