In 3rd grade the students begin learning about Pablo Picasso and cubism. In 4th grade we take that knowledge and expand on it by learning about Picasso's painting, "The Three Musicians." (last picture posted here) We looked at this painting and then the students re-created in collage style. The painting itself is often mistaken for a collage because of the geometric shapes. The students had a few criteria to consider:
1st - it must have 3 people in it wearing masks like the painting
2nd - there must be at least 2 instruments in the picture
3rd- they must include a dog - there is a dog in the painting and it is hidden
4th - they must include elements found in the painting
I was so impressed with the attention to detail and the creativity these students put forth. They really turned out great!
Look for a grade to come home soon - we will keep these projects for consideration for the art show.
