Kindergarten Cubist Heart

     In Kindergarten, we looked at the artwork of Pablo Picasso the famous cubist artist.  We discussed how in his artwork, the viewer can see many different shapes.  We also discussed value and how artists use it within their artwork to create light and shadow.  Students created a drawing of a heart and then divided it up to create a cubist heart, so their goal was to have many shapes inside but not too small.

     Inside of the shapes, the students used crayons of any color to create value.  The goal for the value was to go from dark to light.  They really enjoyed seeing that they could create a darker value with the crayon as well as a lighter value.  The end result looks great!
