There are so many ways to teach Picasso portraits, I'm working with 3rd grade so I wanted to keep it simple. I'll show them some of Picasso's Portraits and then go into the project - demonstrating each step. I'm going to ask them to create diagonal folds, not even folds that create squares on their page, but more random folds. They should make about 5 folds and then using a ruler go over the fold lines with a sharpie. Looking at the lines on their page and turning it around from different sides they should see the suggestion of a face and they can begin sketching. I'm going to show them how to use the lines to begin the eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, chin etc... When they have a face they like they should go over it with sharpie. Now they can use watercolor to finish the portrait. I am going to emphasize complementary colors which is another way to force them to be more abstract, but also something Picasso did in his paintings. Student Work I passed out a copy of this worksheet to help them think of different ways to make the features.

A Spanish expatriate painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer, Picasso was considered radical in his work. After a long prolific career, he died on April 8, 1973, in Mougins, France. The enormous body of Picasso's work remains, however, and the legend lives on—a tribute to the vitality of the "disquieting" Spaniard with the "sombrepiercing" eyes who superstitiously believed that work would keep him alive. For nearly 80 of his 91 years, Picasso devoted himself to an artistic production that contributed significantly to—and paralleled the entire development of—modern art in the 20th century.
Art teachers can now bring the creativity and brilliance of Pablo Picasso into their classrooms with printable Picasso art coloring pages. These pages feature iconic artworks such as Guernica and The Weeping Woman that students can color in, allowing them to engage with Picassos unique style and technique.
Picasso inspired Portraits Step 1) Picasso, Abstract Art and Cubism For our first art lesson I chose a Picasso inspired project since the students have learned about the artist and Cubism in their arts unit already. As an introduction to our project the students watched a video about Picasso, Abstract Art and Cubism. I showed the student some of his portrait paintings and we talked about Picasso's abstract way of painting and expressing feelings by showing a face from two or more sides in the same portrait. Step 2) The Colour Wheel In the next step I introduced the colour wheel to the students and we learned about primary and secondary colours, warm and cool colours and complementary colours. Step 3) Guide Line Drawing After all students had a close look at the shown portraits, I handed out templates of a Picasso face with two different sides and references with the typical shapes of eyes, noses and mouths as Picasso used to draw them. I guide the students to draw a Picasso face while using the whole space of the paper. Then they chose their favourite eye, nose, mouth and hair shapes and created their individual portrait. After drawing the face with pencil, the students used a grayon to draw the oulines again. Step 4) Introduction to Water Colour / Aquarell I gave a demonstration on how to use water colour and the students learned that water colour really needs a wet paint brush... The students then coloured their portraits by creating a warm colour side and a cool colour side of the face. What we have learned: Abstract Art uses your imagination to create it and understand it. Colours, shapes and mind can be however you feel creating them. Picasso created a new style of art called Cubism. Cubism is a style of art that uses different shapes and intersting colours to show ordinairy objects. A cubist painting shows all the sides of an object in the same picture. Colours in abstract art are chosen to create a certain kind of feeling or mood. Shapes in cubist art can still be recognised as what they are, but they can look like they were made of triangles, rectangles or squares. Primary Colours red, blue and yellow cannot be created through mixing of other colours. Secondary Colours green, purple and orange are produced by mixing the primary colours. Cool Colours are blue, green and purple. Warm colours are yellow, orange and red. Complementary colours are any two colours which are directly opposite to each other on the colour wheel.

If you look at this collection of Pablo Picasso's portraits, and compare the first piece to the last, you'll find that the two are strikingly different. But if you then compare Picasso's work from the time he was a young man until the time of his death, some common thread emerges: you can tell the paintings were done by the same man.

Hoy hace 47 años que nos dejó Pablo Picasso, el Genio.
This is a great lesson I found in an 2000 issue of Arts and Activities magazine, called "Looking at Faces from a New Angle" by Art teacher Mary Mulkey. It is a great introduction into Cubism and the Cubist portraits by Pablo Picasso. My Grade 7 class made these. I started off by showing a slideshow of his famous Cubist portraits and having a discussion with the kids about it- discussing the lines, shapes, colour and stylization. Then discuss the strange fracturing of the face, the mixed up angles, the bold black lines, etc. Pablo Picasso, Portrait of Dora Maar, 1937 Here's how we made these paintings: Practice three Cubist style heads in sketchbook first. 'Connect' the heads with hair, to give some unity. Once they have a rough idea, start the good copy on large heavy white paper. More specifically: draw three oval heads- split them down the middle with a wavy profile-type line and draw different, crazy, opposite features on each side. I found this to be a challenge for students to do- they are so used to drawing a face symmetrically and 'normally'! They kept saying 'mine looks wierd' to which I would reply 'the wierder the better!' outline with permanent black marker... Paint with tempera- we always use paper palettes as I have only one sink :( I emphasize to the kids to only squeeze out a Loonie (Canadian dollar) size dollop of paint. Sometimes it works, other times not so much, as you can see from the photo above.... But the kids are generally very conscientious of the amount of paint they use, and if they have leftovers, they always ask around the class if anyone needs extra. painting, painting.... The painting took about two classes. Once dry, students added patterns and details with oil pastels - I encouraged them to be loose and expressive. Some wanted to touch the lines up again with the markers. Ta da!

Pablo Picasso (Spanish artist, 1881–1973) Woman in a Plummed Hat 1901
Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. Picasso is credited, along with Georges Braque, with the creation of Cubism. This print comes from the first edition of Picasso’s Picassos by David Douglas Duncan published in 1961. Duncan painstakingly photographed a wide range of Picassos work for this book and the result produced 102 lavishly reproduced tipped in plates (some rarely seen) for this publication. The book chronicles some of Picasso’s earlier rarely seen works. No margins and no text printed on the reverse. Reproduced from a 1936 painting, title unknown. Very good overall condition. Size 7.75" x 9.25"
15 years old (1896) It’s possible to look at Pablo Picasso’s many formal experiments and periodic shifts of style as a kind of self-portraiture, an exercise in shifting consciousness and trying on of new aesthetic identities.
The style of Picasso portraits is unmistakable: the figures fall apart and are recomposed in his paintings, overturning all the canons and the proportions of the face in the style of Cubism. When s…
Linocuts form a relatively small part of Picasso’s oeuvre as a printmaker, however some of his most outstanding compositions were produced using this method in a short burst of activity between 1958 and 1963.
