Cubist Still Life Collage




Students began this lesson by learning about Cubism and its leading artist Pablo Picasso. We then spent two class periods creating a still life drawing. This drawing was then intersected with various lines to create the typical Cubist view of seeing the subject from multiple angles. Students then filled in the sections with different values of one color, magazine print and brown pastel. The violin and print were used to symbolize the influence Cubism had on music and literature.

Picasso Flowers



These charming paintings were inspired by Pablo Picasso's Flowers in Hand. PreK and Kinder students cut out an outline of their hand and painted the stems. We then used some painted papers to cut up into flower petals. This is a favorite project for the younger ones because of its simple and elegant look!
