Feelin' the Blues!
(2/5) Mrs. Hilliard's 3rd grade gifted students worked on creating an art piece inspired by Pablo Picasso's blues period. Students began a unit on Mississippi which focuses on various Mississippi musicians, artists, authors, and chefs. Students connected Picasso's blues period of painting with the famous musician, B.B. King. They listened to blues music while using pencil and watercolor to draw and paint a "blues guitar". Their work also reflected Picasso's cubism style. Students will create a name for their guitar as well, just like B.B. King!
