The fourth graders have been learning all about the life and times of Pablo Picasso. Picasso is considered an artistic genius for many reasons, one of them being his help in the development of the Cubist style of art. We drew our self-portraits in a cubist style and then looked a period in Picassos painting life called the Blue Period. During this time Picasso was so sad and depressed that he painted mostly with different values of blue. Each student then chose a color to use in their portrait, plus black and white, to get values of that color. This color was based on their mood at the time. We learned that a Tint is a color plus white and a Shade is a color plus black. Using our colors, tints, and shades we created unique cubist portraits. I love them!
