The Masks of Pablo Picasso

The students of the 6th A and B classes at the Carapinheira EB 2.3 school, after viewing the life story of the painter Pablo Picasso and analyzing some of his most significant works, discovered several interesting facts, including his use of many geometric shapes in his works – Cubism – and the influence of African art on his work.

They began the practical work by creating a sketch for a mask, based on the influence of the artist's Cubist art. They drew a design, and then began constructing a mask based on the design, cutting, painting, and gluing the various elements.

They finished the work by transforming the mask into a sculpture, adding a decorated base for the effect.
