4-5th grade paint Picasso guitars

 The class has been wanting to paint. I chose this so we could discuss modern art paintings, Picasso and have them continue to draw. I did an example with them showing them that Picasso  did not draw a traditional guitar. This seemed to get their creativity going and this is the result. Some of them are quite traditional and others including the one with the lightning bolts on it are quite on the creative bent.

2nd Grade paints Picasso guitars

The 2nd grade was assigned Spain for their cultures day. We decided to do the guitar artwork from Picasso as part of this project.
We reviewed some examples of his musical period and talked about some of the other periods like his blue period. The students both drew and painted the guitars.

Doing Picasso 3D art for after school class

This was a challenge as our final project for the year. First for the background, we used texture medium and paint to create designs supplimented with a variety of tissue papers. Then each student cut out a guitar from denim and applied it to the back ground and added elements with buttons, bells, cords, ribbons and what-ever-else was in the decorating bag. Lots of very pleased students as each project was completed.
