Picasso to Warhol: Fourteen Modern Masters

Early Childhood

Modern Masterpiece: As part of a broad-based study of plants and growth, children will view and discuss Matisse’s Still Life With Aubergines, 1911, Picasso’s Green Still Life, 1914 and Miro’s Still Life 1, 1922-23 and paint a representation of one of these artworks.

Shapes and Faces: After studying Picasso’s Painter and Model, 1928, and identifying different shapes in the painting, use coloured shapes to make a collage of a Cubist-style face.

Middle Childhood

Machine People Collage: After studying Leger’s paintings, particularly Big Julie, 1945 and Woman with a Book, 1923, create a mixed media art work that combines the human form with machines.

Early Adolescence

Birds, Wings & Flying Things: After studying Constantin Brancusi’s sculptures, particularly Bird in Space, 1928, and Young Bird, 1928, create clay sculptures inspired by birds, wings and flight.

Late Adolescence

Difference In the Environment: After studying Mondrian’s paintings, create large abstract, geometric paintings which communicate ideas about differences in the urban environment.
