Picasso

We have traveled to a new country…we are now in Málaga, Spain–the birthplace of Pablo Picasso!

We have been studying his wonderful, varied works of art…and learning about his life.  His blue period, his rose period, and his invention of cubism.  He had an amazing life and lived to be 92 years old!

In art class we experimented with mixing primary colours to make secondary colours, and then adding white to make ‘tints’ and black to make ‘shades’.

We had an awesome time!!!  It got very messy (as you can see in the photos), but we are now PROS with a sponge–showing ownership by cleaning up after ourselves.  Thanks everyone for making sure you weren’t wearing your ‘best outfits”!

In our next class, we used those sheets of coloured paper to build our own musicians.  We used our knowledge of Geometry to cut shapes and our musical knowledge to choose an instrument to add.  Can you tell what instruments we have chosen?

Here are some of our creations…come check them out this week during our 50th Year Celebration…they are hanging in the hallway outside our room!
