Dear Parents, 
This week we continued to study Pablo Picasso's work. We learned that Picasso produced at least 50,000 works of art and 1,885 paintings. He along with George Braque invented cubism, a form of painting that featured simple geometric shapes. He is also known for making collages - gluing previous unrelated things with images. No other painter or sculptor was as famous while he was still alive.
After a class discussion we made our own 3-D Picasso face. First we traced a profile of each child's face, then we drew a"U" shape around it, added eyes, eyebrows, hair, and lips. The children then painted on the features. We then cut it down the middle, taped a paper towel roll onto the back , and Voila a face is born!
The children also created free form wooden sculptures. Each child was given 2 large wiggly eyes, and a few small ones, wooden base, various pieces of wood, wood glue, and cardboard. The old instructions they were given was to create a one a kind sculpture.
We have now completed our studies of the following artists for the art show: Vincent van Gogh , Wassily Kandinsky, Pablo Picasso, and Antoni Gaudi.
We also have been working on our math skills by:
~Counting from 1-20
~Counting to 100 by 10's
~Practicing simple addition problems (1+2=3)
