American Gothic

When you create your parody of American Gothic, be sure to include 2 characters, the Gothic window in the background and 1 of the characters should be holding something.  Color your final picture and give it a title.  Have fun creating your parody of Grant Wood's famous work of art!!

Picasso Project directions

Here are the directions for the Picasso Project. Be as colorful as possible and have fun putting the puzzle together. 

Step 1: Color the pieces of the 'Take Apart Art' Project. Use a variety of bright and colorful colors. You may use crayons, markers, or colored pencils.

Step 2: Cut out the pieces of the puzzle. Do this very carefully because 
the pieces need to fit together exactly. If you do not cut out precisely, 
your puzzle pieces will not fit!!! 

Step 3: Put the pieces together to make the picture. Because this is a 
Picasso painting, the eyes, hands, and feet may not necessarily be in the 
usual places. Look at the shapes of the pieces and see how they fit 
together. You may need to rearrange the pieces to make it work. The final
painting is in the shape of a vertical rectangle. 

Step 4: Glue the pieces onto a piece of construction paper. Be sure that 
you write your name on your final masterpiece
