Little Picassos - Literally

For our latest art project, the students have learned about Picasso and how he invented the style of painting know as cubism - an original abstract concept.  In addition, we reviewed the colour wheel (primary, secondary, intermediate/tertiary colours) and I taught them a new concept:  analogous colours.  Ask them about it! Check out our work as it progresses.

Practice using primary colours to make secondary and tertiary colours.  We also added black to make shades and white to make tints.

Next we used our rulers to draw Christmas trees and add the cubism effect.

Finally, we used paper plates as paint palettes and created our own sets of analogous colours to paint our abstract art.
