Picasso Styled Frida's!!!!!!!

Currently we are exploring art around the world this year. We are exploring artists and folk art from various cultures and countries! This was our last Hispanic Heritage Month lesson and we combined both Pablo Picasso and Frida Kahlo into one art project! We explored the style of each artist and used Picasso style portraits to make a portrait of Frida! These were done by my fabulous first graders! 

We used pencil to draw our Frida Portraits, sharpie to outline, crayon to color and watercolor paint for our background! The students loved how funky Frida now looks!

Creative wishes art world! Enjoy!

 A Huge THANK YOU to the many Instagram followers! Follow me on Instagram for up-to-date and current capturing moments exploring art, art education, and creativity of an art teacher!

This is an image of one of my students in the process of creating her painting. She still needs to add the beautiful red vase in!

 I conducted two different Van Gogh inspired projects with first and second grade. The first grade students painted on canvas and the 2nd grade students painted on recycled cardboard pizza trays that were donated from the lunch room! Each were given the same set of instructions with a focus on observation, still life, creating tints and shades. Students then focused on using their paint brushes properly and blending creating their own color palate.
