Kindergarten Picasso Portraits

The kindergartners started this unit by created a digital Picasso head on the internet. From there, our next step was to create an individual Picasso style portrait out of construction paper. The students learned about the word silhouette, and we used our projector to trace their silhouettes onto. The students cut out their silhouettes after they were traced. Then they glued the profile silhouette halfway to the front silhouette. From there we trimmed off the excess paper and created facial features. We discussed again how facial features did not have to look realistic nor be the correct spot. Once the pieces were attached and dry, the students took permanent markers and outline their facial features.
