First grade artists learned about the art of Pablo Picasso and had fun exploring shapes as they painted these fun portraits. They also got a chance to demonstrate their understanding of warm and cool colors as they painted.
We did this project a couple of years ago – see it here – but this year my kiddos painted the black lines instead of using black oil pastels; the lines look much nicer on this project. We also added white printed “snow” for background interest.
My third grade artists were admiring the Picasso “Three Musicians” project that their fellow first graders recently completed, so….here’s another take on the Three Musicians, this time with a third grade twist!
Our Three Musicians are inspired by a project from Sara Brady, Art Specialist at Cathedral School in Bismarck, ND. Thanks Sara! Here’s the link to Sara’s Artsonia page.
Squeaking in two more pieces for next week’s 2011 HPS Art Show. Who could resist this clay monkey and awesome guitar collage?!
Congrats, Artists!
