After viewing a selection of more "realistic" portraits, first graders were introduced to Pablo Picasso and his Cubist style of portraiture. Then, in the spirit of Halloween and with a little guidance from Mr. O via the Smartboard, they drew and painted (in a second session) these Cubist-styled Picasso pumpkins (and signed them with their first and Picasso's last name). When one sees how naturally the students pick up on this style, it's no wonder Picasso thought of his own Cubist art as childlike.
