The fourth graders continued their study of Pablo Picasso by looking at portraits by this famous Spanish artists. We talked about how we see a face when we look at it from the side and how we see a face when we look at it from the front. We noticed that Picasso often combined both front and side view to create one face. This made for a really abstract piece of art.
The fourth grade made portraits like Picasso's by drawing a front view of a face and a side view of a face and then combining them to create one face. They colored them with marker using solid colors and then decorated the background with various patterns. These are always a lot of fun and they turned out great!
