It's finally warm and sunny, and we're finally done with testing!! HOOORAAAYY!! We have the beautiful outdoors, Spring/Summer, and Mother's Day on our minds right now! Why not mix a little Picasso in there too? You could do this with any grade, but I chose to try it with 3rd grade this week. It only took one 45 minute class! Here's how we created our own. Materials: Crayola Watercolors Sharpie Markers Ticonderoga Pencils Crayola Oil pastels Sax 90lb multi use paper 9x12" First, I show them an example of the painting we're getting inspiration from. I talk about Picasso, discuss where he is from, and how I was able to see his art in Spain when I studied abroad in Madrid. (UH-mazing) I show them examples of his earlier work, and how realistic they were. Then, I told them about a quote he said. " It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. I explained to them we weren't trying to be perfect, that we were just going to keep it simple! We did a directed drawing together of the hands. They trace their hands with Sharpie marker, and then added stems with green oil pastels. Then I demoed how to paint ovals for the middles and contrasting colors for the petals. Easy, Fun, and Simply Beautiful! Here's a video, showing how we drew ours! Here's my sweet students hard at work and some finished masterpieces! Mrs. Torres' class Ms. Campbell's class Here's some fabulous 1st graders trying it too!
