1st Grade: Picasso Silly Faces

In first grade we talked about Pablo Picasso and Cubism. First, I asked for a volunteer to stand up.  After I drew him realistically on the board, I then drew him with Cubist influence. I explained that Cubism is simply creating a picture by moving around and rearranging shapes to make it look a bit unusual. I then showed a few examples of Picasso's portraits, which the students thought were hilarious.

The students were given a piece of paper and crayon-like sticks (which I still have no clue what it's called) to draw their crazy self-portraits.  They then colored in their pictures with chalk.
