Picasso Red Roses 

Learning Targets

I can...

• Create Picasso Red Roses using drawing techniques learned in class
• Use love colors (red orange coral pink purple), bold shapes (petal oval cone), and line variation (swirl curve spiral) inspired by Spanish Painter (1881-1973) Pablo Picasso
• Use design principles (variation composition placement) to replicate traditional art forms and styles of the Rose Period (1904) in Modern Art
• Define Still Life (a group of different objects- flowers, cloth, fruit- in a picture)

Lesson One

Day Two, Art Start

1. Retrieve Picasso Red Roses for Assigned Table
2. Flowers (1901) Pablo Picasso

This period focused on changing artistic styles from cool, somber tones of blue to bright playful colors of orange and pink. His work regained a romantic quality expressing the French culture, garland of flowers, and the feelings of love."
