Picture Perfect Picassos

Pablo Picasso used colors to express mood in his work.  For 4  years, he used cool, blue tones to express his sadness.  During this Blue Period, his paintings showed poor and sorrowful characters.  His Rose Period followed this blue trend.  As his personal life improved, he began using warm tones including pinks, browns and yellows.  Our first graders played a guessing game with some of his paintings.  They can now distinguish between these two time periods in Picasso's life.  Also, they created a portrait that was inspired by Picasso's Blue Period on one side and the Rose Period on the other.
