PICASSO LA COQ CHALK ART

Learning Target 

I can... 

• Create a Picasso Rooster using techniques learned in class
• Use shape (mismatching, fragmented, complex) color (whimsical, complex) and texture (implied, tactile) to mimic Spanish Painter Pablo Picasso
• Use design principles (composition, proportion, contrast) relating to the Neoclassic Period
• Define Whimsical (an art or idea that is unusual, playful, and unpredictable)

Lesson One

Day One, Art Start

1. Domestic Fowl- Rooster Parts (comb, gobbler, beak, claws, sickle feathers)

3. Discussion Questions "What differences do you notice between a real rooster and the rooster Pablo Picasso created? Whimsical- an art or idea that is unusual, playful, and unpredictable. What makes this rooster look surreal or whimsical? What message is this artwork trying to convey?"

Lesson Activities

1. Choose three shapes (mismatched, fragmented, complex) for the Rooster Body, Head, & Tail
2. Add detailed features (beak, feathers, gobbler) to the Rooster Body, Head, and/or Tail
3. Use black oil pastel, ink pens, or sharpie markers to outline the Picasso Rooster

Reminder:

3. Famous Artist Quote "When first asked why Picasso painted the Rooster Series, he replied 'There have always been roosters, but like everything else in life we must discover them -roosters have always been seen but never as well as in American weather vanes.' What do you believe the artist meant by this comment?
