After the success of learning about the art styles of Jackson Pollock we looked at another artist who uses \u201c faces\u201d as part of their art work. We discovered \u201cPicasso\u201d. He used different shapes and designs to create his art work.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWe learned about Picasso, first by looking at how he used vibrant colours to design each part of the face. The faces were a bit funny everything was in different places! But we learned this was called \u201cabstract art\u201d.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next we tried to see if we could make a \u201cPicasso face\u201d using faces we cut up from magazines. To se if we could create an abstract face.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was fun selecting different parts of the face to piece together and seeing how it looked at the end. Very Picasso inspired.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To challenge the thinking of some of our older children we added pictures of other types of objects to see if they could make a Picasso face with things that aren\u2019t facial features. \u00a0Some of our children thought using pictures of pens as hair was a great idea!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next step on our Project Picasso learning journey was to see if we could draw our very own \u201cPicasso face\u201d using coloured pencils.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We used some Picasso prints as inspiration and let our creative minds design our own interpretation of Picassos work.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last stop of our Project Picasso was painting (the best part) we used our colour mixing skills to create our very own abstract face in the style of Picasso using our creative design skills.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We have been such successful learners in our art area, leaning about the art styles of famous artists. We might have the future \u201cPicasso\u201d here at Cart Mill.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As Picasso used lots of vibrant colours we found another artist who used vibrant colours and grids to create his art\u2026. \u201cPiet Mondrian\u201d. This is the next artist we will be leaving about in our art areas both inside and sharing our learning out into the large outdoor art area. I am very excited to see how it turns out.
