Students will learn cubism, which is a style of art famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso is widely known for.

Today we’re going to be painting one of my favorite Picasso pieces, Three Musicians.

You’ll notice that cubism tend to be very flat and feature geometric shapes used in math class, such as circles, squares, and arcs.

Students are encouraged to use any colors and experiment with shapes with this fun art project today.

* Learn about the cubism style of art
* Learn about famous Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso

* Practice painting using watercolors

Materials:

1.) Crayons
2.) Watercolor paint set
3.) Copy paper
