Explore Halloween Art With Pablo Picasso
Pablo Picasso was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and ceramicist born in 1881 in Malaga, Spain. He spent most of his adult life working as an artist in France and died in 1973.
Picasso is one of the most influential artists in modern art. During his career, he created over 20,000 paintings, drawings, sculptures, and ceramics. He is famous for the variety of styles that he helped develop, such as cubism and collage.
Cubism refers to art in which the subject is divided into different sections. It is called cubism because the items represented in the artwork look like they are made out of cubes and other geometric shapes.
Explore the fun side of Pablo Picasso this fall by creating your own Halloween pumpkins with playdough. Think about incorporating a bit of cubism into your design by using cubes and other geometric shapes.
