"Silly" Self-Portraits

LThe week before spring break, kindergartners were introduced to artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Cubism (where Picasso took apart objects and "analyzed" them in terms of their shapes). Picasso was a Spanish artist and one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. 

Kindergarten artists created a "silly" self-portrait inspired by Picasso by adding lines and shapes when drawing their face. They looked at Weeping Woman (below) for inspiration and we discussed the painting. Children drew their self-portrait using black Sharpie and colored it in with oil pastel.
