In their art class, 2nd graders learned about Spanish artist Pablo Picasso, one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. The artwork posted here was inspired by his work entitled “A Rooster” seen below.
Students used paint and plastic wrap to create their textured backgrounds. They then used the elements of shape and line to create the body of their roosters.
Using oil pastels students layered and mixed and blended colors to create the desired effect and used black to add emphasis to areas of their choosing.
Once complete 2nd graders cut out their roosters and carefully glued them to their backgrounds.
Below are some examples of finished pieces.
