Picasso Portraits: Blue Period

Picasso was not only a painter of crazy portraits but he also painted showing emotion.  Students created a self portait and used color to emphasize a feeling of happy, excited, sad, or depressed.  Students were inspired by Picasso's Blue period.

Dr. Seuss Fish

We read about and studied the art and illustrations of Dr. Seuss.  Students created a fish inspired by One Fish Two Fish by Dr. Seuss.

Monochromatic paintings

We are not finished yet with these beautiful paintings.  We have to add the darkest value which is black.  Students started with a digital picture of themselves.  Students studied value and decided the lightest value.  We painted one value at a time.  Each week, our paint got darker and darker.  Look for these paintings and more at our end of the year Kids Art Fair.

Picasso Portraits

Students created a wierd and wild self portrait inspired by Pablo Picasso.  Half of the image started out from a black and white photo.  The students drew a side view, or profile for the other half of their face.
