Primary 1-3 have been learning about Picasso in art this term.

Picasso was a Spanish artist and is one of the most famous artists in the world. He had a phase in his painting where he made lots of blue paintings. This was called his Blue Period.

We looked at some of his paintings and thought about the colours he used, how they made us feel and how the people in the paintings felt.

We then looked at some of his other paintings out with his blue period and thought how the bright colours made us feel. We compared two of the paintings and discussed colours that we could use to make a happy portrait and what colours we could use to make a sad prtrait.

Half of the class wanted to draw a happy portrait of themselves and the other half wanted to paint a sad portrait of themselves taking inspiration from Picasso’s Blue Period.
