After reading a short story about Pablo Picasso, we discussed his artwork and how it was very different from other artists before him. They learned he was an artist who was not afraid to try new things. Later in his life - Picasso expanded his style from detailed realism to abstract and simplified art. He even played around with placement of objects on his canvas.
Since the students worked really hard studying the realism of their own faces with the self portrait project, it was a nice change to let them loose and create a picasso style portait. I had a lot of giggles and smiles as we discussed changing the shapes and placement of our facial features. They results are quite unique and creative.
