Our Finished ‘Picasso’-Style Faces
Here they are:
Abstract Faces – in the style of Pablo Picasso
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.
100’s Day Fun
Directed Drawing – Dragons
On Tuesdays each week we have a directed drawing lesson. As it will be Lunar New Year this coming Friday, our lesson this Tuesday was a dragon.
The students did such a great job that they needed to be on display! They are on the bulletin board in the hallway between our classroom and the Office.
A Few Words About Penguins
This week we created little booklets containing some facts about penguins. These are folded, accordion-style, and are attached to cut-out King penguins.
We also created cute penguins out of looped construction paper. These are both adorning our classroom bulletin board.
