Gan Gimmel recently learned about Pablo Picasso as part of our art curriculum. We focused a lot on Picasso’s Cubist Period since he is famous for starting Cubism. When looking at his works, we noticed that Picasso’s paintings seemed to look like many different pieces put into one. The people that he painted looked silly; painted with bright colors, faces split in half, and eyes and mouths facing different directions.

Inspired by Picasso’s Cubist style, we decided to make our own portraits. First we made faces and put lines through the middle to split them in half. Then, using different bright papers with various designs, we created eyes, ears, mouths, hair, and more! Inspired by Picasso’s love of collaging, we collaged the features onto the faces. Come take a look at our Picasso portraits hanging in our classroom!
Incredible artwork by our incredible artists!
