2nd Grade Picasso Faces

2nd Grade Picasso Faces

     2nd graders studied the work of Pablo Picasso. Students mainly focused on his portrait paintings. Students created their own self-portrait collages using Picasso's style of showing the profile and the front view of the face at the same time. Students cut a variety of cubist shapes from colored construction paper, and rearranged them onto the face of their self-portrait. Students chose to use oil pastels to add details to their collage when they were finished. For this lesson, students worked on the following learning targets:

- I can combine and overlap a variety of cut shapes to create an interesting composition. 

- I can create a self-portrait that shows both the profile and front view of my face.

- I can show careful use of craftsmanship with my cutting and gluing.
