Presenting Picasso

During April, Studio 110 students were introduced to Pablo Picasso.
Here were our favorite fun facts about the Spanish artist:

1. Picasso’s full name has 23 words:Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Martyr Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso.
2. Picasso’s first word – Pencil
3. He completed his first painting at age 9
4. Picasso was a bad student - He did not like to be told what to do – spent a lot of time in “time out”
5. Recognized as the world's most prolific painter by the Guinness Book of World Records: during a career that lasted 78 years he produced an estimated 13,500 paintings or designs, 100,000 prints or engravings, 34,000 book illustrations and 300 sculptures or ceramics, making a total of 147,800 works of art.

During the April's lessons we worked on portrait techniques, creating mood through color, and learning the principles of cubism. Students loved learning about Picasso's Blue and Rose period because everyone can relate to being happy and sad.
