Here they are:

We looked at some art pieces by Picasso.  We read a story book about him called, “Pablo Picasso and the Girl With the Ponytail” by Laurence Anholt.

We then created our own ‘abstract’ faces on tag board with black Sharpies.  We worked through the sections together as a directed drawing lesson. We incorporated eyes, eyebrows, noses, mouths, cheeks, necks, jawlines, hair, and head dresses.

Students then added ‘embellishments’ such as waves, squiggles, squares, dots, or their own inventions.  We will be colouring these, a section at a time, over the course of next week.  Students have really been enjoying this project.  I can’t wait to show you all their finished results.
