Paint like Pablo Picasso
Use the tools and colours to recreate a Cubist painting by Pablo Picasso. This project offers two types of template:
Copy a Picasso painting – Study an original painting and try to recreate it.
Copy and review a Picasso painting – Once you've recreated the original, write an evaluation of your work.
Discussion points
- Picasso was Spanish but spent most of his life in Paris, the home of modern art.
- When he was young he painted in a realistic way, but when he was older he explored all sorts of brand new ways of creating art.
- He is most famous for being one of the founders of the Cubism movement.
- Cubism was a completely new way of painting. Subjects were broken down into lots of small parts and so the painting ended up as a mix of shapes and lines. Instead of painting a subject from one viewpoint, lots of viewpoints were included in a single picture.
