This week at Little Ashcan proved that size doesn’t matter. Although, quite little, our Little Ashcan students packed a big punch, or rather, left their marks in a big way. After a brief lesson on Pablo Picasso’s cubism, our little ones dived right in and impressed us all!
Cubism, for those who may not be familiar with it, is a specific modern art technique created by Pablo Picasso and George Braques. The technique differentiates from traditional forms of art, in the sense that a natural perspective is far from what cubism depicts. It highlights the stark differences in what is a realistic perspective versus a truly unique, and artistic one. It is about how you should see a subject instead of what is seen.
Being the creative souls that they are, our students truly tapped into their inner Picasso’s and could have truly fooled us all into thinking their portraits of Dora Marr were the works of Picasso himself! Here’s a tiny glimpse of the immense talent that was shown this week . We are so proud of our little ones here at Ashcan and can’t wait to see how they grow!
