3rd grade Picasso cubism face

The 3rd graders learned about the life and work of the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso. We particularly focused on his cubist paintings. Cubism is a style of art that looks like pieces of geometric shapes in a puzzle that are not put together correctly! 

We drew a face realistically, drew 5 lines through it and then colored in each section or piece. After the face was cut out, we cut it into 8 pieces and put it back together, leaving just a small space between each piece. They turned out well and the kids enjoyed seeing their face transform from realistic to abstract!!
