4th Grade - Picasso Portraits

Students learned about Pablo Picasso and other cubist artists during this lesson. They used this style when drawing a portrait. Next, they painted torn tissue paper pieces inside each shape of the portrait using watered down glue. The backgrounds were painted with tempera.

5th Grade - Flowers with an "Ism" Twist

Students first put their still-life drawing skills to the test and drew a flower pot. Next, we discussed and looked at examples of three different styles or "isms" of art that they could use to transform their flower drawings; cubism, impressionism and pointillism. Some students chose to incorporate more than one style. Results were phenomenal!
