Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement. In his later work, he used a style that showed the features of the face from different points of view, which gave the face a mixed-up feeling.
Roll the dice to create your own mixed-up face using some of the features found in Picasso’s work.
The features in this roll & draw game are all taken from portraits made by Picasso and found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. See if your students can figure out which portraits were used for each feature. Hint: all of the ideas for each dice number are taken from the same portrait.
The second page provides you with a key, which includes the web address and accession number that will help you quickly find an online image.
Once the face is complete, encourage students to add hair, and maybe a hat, neck, or body.
The drawings can be used as a fun follow-up to a Picasso movie or art history lesson.
They could also be turned into a collage, painting, mixed media, or even clay slab project.
You'll find an example of an easy way to add color on my blog.
