1st Graders Start Making Crazy Faces

All my first grade classes started the week by looking at a painting by Pablo Picasso called Weeping Woman.

The students came up with lots of interesting ideas about "What's going on in this painting?" We talked about the different colors and how Picasso liked to make things a little crazy. We then began making our own crazy faces like Pablo Picasso. Each student picked out a colored sheet of construction paper for a background. Then they drew each facial feature on a separate small white paper that they could cut out and glue on their construction paper. They have come up with some very creative crazy faces so far.
