3rd Grade Picasso Faces Paintings

Third Grade Zilker artists have just finished their Picasso Double Face paintings!  We looked at several of Pablo Picasso's portraits of people and discussed how he used Cubism to create them.  The style of Cubism allowed him to show more than one view of a single person in one painting.  We learned how to show both a side view and a front view of a person in the same drawing, and then we divided the face into different shapes to further abstract it. We painted the shapes different bright colors, and finally added black lines for contrast.  At the end, students wrote an "exit Ticket" to describe what they learned during this project. They all did a fantastic job!
