Our 3rd grade artist recently completed an art critique that compared and contrasted Picasso's Blue and Rose period paintings. Picasso's Blue period is mostly known for the dreary blue tones and sad subject matter that reflected his depressed mood. Then came Picasso's Rose period, after the artist had fallen in love with someone special; during this period his works were comprised of primarily rose colors and happier entertainers as his subjects.
Students worked in groups to complete a "table talk" art critique. We of course used our ArtSmart resources to use identify appropriate ARTiculation of our thoughts! These talks are a fabulous time for learning because there are really no wrong answers (expect for no answer at all). It is great to see such young artists challenge themselves to really look at a work of art, decide their personal opinion of it. Then they look deep into the paintings to identify ART words.
You can see their table talk presentations below!
To finish the lesson each student designed a Rose themed heart to celebrate Picasso's loving mood change.
