Now that we have studied the art work created by Picasso in class and discussed the amazing evolution of his art, it is time to create a work of art based on the portraits he painted during and after the birth of cubism. Your portrait should somehow combine 3 views of a face. How do you do this? Work it out in your sketchbook. Overlap different views of a face you have already drawn or someone you want to draw. Combine the faces by connecting them with lines, omitting some features, emphasizing others...experiment.
Picasso painted hundreds and hundreds of original creative portraits of people. Some were realistic, expressionistic, cubist...etc. Even though you are using Picasso as inspiration your portrait will be an original because you will put your twist on it.
