Picasso’s Rose Period Hearts… love, love, love

Picasso’s Blue Period lasted for 4 years. It was a sad time in his life and he primarily used blue paint in his works.

After that sad time Pablo fell in love and splashed many of his canvases with lovely colors such as pinks, reds, corals and purples. This became known as his Rose Period which focused on bold shapes and colorful patterns. In these two art lessons my students created delightful flowers and hearts inspired by Picasso’s Rose Period.

First Project: Painted Hearts

Students used a piece of tagboard, drew a heart, painted it with tempera paint, then cut it out when dry. It took 50 minutes to complete one large heart.

I just tell them to create fun designs with paint. They are wonderful students who love to create fantastic projects.

Second Project: Picasso Roses

Students created a big flower on tagboard using tempera paint. It took 50 minutes to complete one large flower. We let them dry and then cut them out.
