How to Draw Like Picasso

As I was working on activities for Hispanic Heritage Month, I researched artists. I was thinking about Cubism and how to draw like Pablo Picasso, so I decided to look up some video lessons for kids and found a fantastic collection of videos that you may enjoy. Some of them include a short biography on Picasso at the beginning of the video, but not all of them. I hope that you'll find one (or more!) of these tutorials easy to follow and inspirational. You can learn more about the artists if you visit my post on Pablo Picasso Lesson Plans, Activities, Coloring Pages, and More.

• Canson XL Watercolor Pads
  
  
• Drawing Pencil Set
• Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Markers

How to Create a Picasso/Cubist Face

We'll start with this lesson for K - 5 from Meghan Bergman (be sure to check out her Picasso card game, too)

Mr. Schuette 's - ART CLASS has this simple art lesson for younger children.

I Love Drawing has this mini-lesson on CUBISM FOR KIDS!

Art Fun with Vanessa Lombardo shows you how to draw two different types of faces. I like how she uses different supplies to color in the faces.

Rainbow Parrot Art has this great tutorial on Cubist Portraits. I think it is better suited for older children.

She also has this excellent Picasso Portrait Lesson for Beginners.

Or if you don't like drawing at all, maybe this cardboard Cubist face tutorial from Ms. Pomranky's Art Room is more to your liking!

And this one from Art with Ms. Steratore is awesome, too. It features Picasso's Blue Guitar...
