Kindergarten Picasso Heads

Today in our kindergarten classes we read Picasso (Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists).  We learned that Picasso was very inventive and changed his painting style numerous times throughout his life.  We learned that he went through certain periods, such as the Blue and Rose period.  Cubism was another style of painting the class observed.  After we read our book, we visited the website PicassoHead.  Each student helped add a feature or change a color of a feature to create their classroom Picasso head.  Notice how the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are not exactly in the correct spots.  Next week the kindergarten students will begin their own Picasso style self-portraits!
