 Art Challenge  - Whaea Sue - Totara and Matai

Thursday 19 August - Wednesday 25 August

Cubist Art by Pablo Picasso

Matai have been exploring Cubist art created by Pablo Picasso, and then we've had a go at doing it ourselves.

Being Courageous and Creative is what it's all about!

We used this simple Youtube video to help us. You don't have to be an artist, you just have to be ready to be courageous and creative and   have a go!!  You can stop the video at any point to give yourselves time and replay it as many times as you want.

If you find the link doesn't work, just Google - Picasso with Mr Soper

What you need to get started

Any size of paper - white A4 computer paper would be good but you can use anything

Some scraps of paper

Any colour pencils, felts, crayons you might have

Matai Students

If you've already finished your Picasso work, our next art challenge is some cartoon work. So you could use the following clip or any other cartoon people, just to make sure you're ready!

The artist we're eventually going to investigate, is Roy Lichtenstein, so you're welcome to Google him as well - you'll find some interesting info if you Google Roy Lichtenstein for kids.

Have fun, and enjoy the challenge!
