The kids love Picasso! Why? Because his work is silly and unexpected and the kids enjoy seeing art in that way. The third graders studied the life and work of Picasso touching upon his blue period, rose period and then cubism.
The students learned how to draw a portrait the correct way using guidelines. We learned that Picasso was an amazing artist at a young age, drawing everything realistically. After we drew our portrait, we outlined it in Sharpie and drew 5 lines through it. Those 5 lines created sections that were colored using crazy colors and patterns. Then, the whole face was cut out and then cut into 8 pieces. When put back together, the pieces needed to line up but not touch. This gives the look of cubism!
