Art Week - 2nd - 13th September
We have been looking at the artist Pablo Picasso. We learnt about his Cubism style and ultimately created a self portrait in his style.
We first looked at 2 different pieces from Picasso, then we had a go at drawing a picture in the style of Picasso. We then went onto putting a face together using different facial parts. We then focused on using oil pastels and drawing different facial features. We then created our final piece but evaluated it and improved it ready for display in the hall for our Art Gallery.
