Pablo
Picasso was a Spanish sculptor & painter who
created several new styles of Art. One of his most
important discoveries was that of Cubism. Cubism
takes a regular object and forms it into a flat
lines and shapes. It almost appears as if you were
looking through a bug's eye. His portraits of human
figures done in the cubist style were well renowned.
We created human faces in the Cubist style using
oil pastels for color.

Perspective
is a drawing technique used to show depth and space.
As objects get farther away, they appear to be getting
smaller. These students created a landscape that
shows perspective. A landscape is an artwork that
has land, sky, a horizon line and is outside.

The
larger trees appear closer to us and the smaller
trees appear farther away. The students created
a painting on top of their drawing using fall or
warm colors for the ground. This shows the leaves
that have fallen from their trees. The sky was painted
using nighttime or cool colors.

Faith
Ringgold is an African American artist who is well known for
her painted story quilts. One of her most famous quilts is
called Tar Beach. The quilt was made into a book, which we
are lucky to have in our school library. We read the book
and talked about how Cassie Lightfoot dreamed about flying
over her city. She would fly over buildings and places that
were important to her family. Our quilt is made of dreams
for our families.
