Pablo Picasso

We studied Picasso today. We learned that he liked to draw, paint, and he wanted some of his paintings to make people feel happy. That is why some of his paintings dipicted clowns. He loved the circus and visited it once a week.
Picasso liked to use shapes (Cubisim) in some of his art. Our Mother's Day art projects included shapes and some were abstract and modern, much like Picasso's style of art. I think that he would have approved!
Do you see the picture of Jackson with the putty? We made that this morning using glue and liquid starch. It was messy and fun!
Here is a place online where you can make your own Picasso creations: http://www.mrpicassohead.com/create.html

I love my art work Andrew did for me! It is neat to compare his handprints from this year to the ones I did when he was a baby.

I like the putty idea. What is the recipe for that? Send it to me if you think about it. Anderson would love playing in that.
