Funny paintings....

Today we started our new art project... Developed from something we dabbled in at a group we used to attend.

Each week we're looking at a different artist/painting technique, then we take elements of that style and create our own piece of art.

First up; Picasso. We looked at cubism and how 'funny' some of the portraits looked, with eyes and noses not in the normal places (again, another great project for understanding that you don't always have to do things the same way as everyone else does)

J decided he'd like to draw a spider, Picasso style.  We used bright colours and tried to replicate the use of two contrasting sides to the picture... A great attempt from J, who really wanted to paint the spider black, but compromised by using grey and adding some bright colours to the background.

Personally I love it :)
