2. OWN VERSION OF FAMOUS PICTURES

Cutting, gluing and using imagination…

…that´s how we created our own version based on Picasso’s version of Las Meninas.

Las Meninas in the Castle

Las Meninas in the Cinema

Las Meninas in the Football Stadium

3. PICASSIAN PORTRAITS

Portrait of Dora Maar

Portrait of Jaume Sabartes

We drew profiles and created “crazy faces” with the help of our scrap box!

… and more faces!

So… we worked on portraits inspired in the very beginning of Picasso´s Cubism. (1st - 2nd

grade)

We also experienced collage to produce Cubist portraits! (2nd

grade)

Sometimes they looked scary! (3rd - 4th grade)

The 1st graders did a great job too!

The kindergarteners made self-portraits with

plasticine

…and varnished the portraits.

That´s the result!

4. PINK AND BLUE PERIOD

Family of acrobats

Poor family by the sea

Picasso was in love…

so… we played with RED and WHITE …to make PINK!!!

And we also played with BLUE and WHITE to convey Picasso´s

sadness.

5. STILL LIFE (2D)

Still life - series 2, nº3

Fruitbowl - nº1

We observed a bowl of fruits, drew them and colour them…

let them dry…

and… here we´ve got some examples!!!

6. Still life (3D) – Final school project:A giant fruitbowl!!!

The starting point for our GIANT FRUIT BOWL was assigning a fruit to each class.

Kindergarten: Tangerine and Orange1st grade: Apple2nd grade: Banana and Cherries3rd grade: Pear4th grade: Strawberry5th grade: Watermelon6th grade: Melon

Then, each class filled a rubbish bag with old

newspapers.

Second, in a bucket we mixed a lot of liquid glue with water.

Third, we put the “cardboard stone” paper into the bucket.

Forth, we left the paper in the bucket for 10 minutes (until it got soft) and then peeled it.

Later on, we glued the paper on the fruit and gently smoothed it down!
