For our first project in Unit 4, first graders will be exploring the life and artwork of Pablo Picasso. We will discuss the different periods of Picasso's art, including his Blue Period, Rose Period, and Cubist period, with a focus on his abstract portraits. Students will compare and contrast realistic and abstract portraits before creating their own. Students will use self-portrait drawing techniques, and then take inspiration from Picasso's abstract portraits to distort the image. We will further explore color theory, including introduction of complementary color schemes to complete the composition.
