Halloween was in the air today as we finished our Picasso inspired monsters. The students had a great time adding all the finishing touches to their spooky masterpieces.
This great lesson came from Mrs. Picasso’s Art Room.
Mrs. Watson's K/1/2/3 Class
A look inside our classroom
Oooh, I love your monsters!
I just read through the process on Mrs Picasso’s Art Room and you had to follow a lot of steps to make your art works, so well done!
What was the trickiest part?
from Mrs McKenzie
Dear Mrs McKenzie and B4,
I am so happy that you like are monsters.
We tried our hardest to follow that many steps.
The trickiest part for me was probably gluing the hair on.
Looking at art, does it make you feel like want to try and make it yourself with your class?
Best Wishes,
Kennedy
Love the art work, a splendid use of colour.
I wonder if the same techniques could be used to make Picasso’s angels, or Santas?
Mr E
Hawes
Dear Mr.E
I liked the art work too:) The colour could probley be used for Picasso angels or santas.
Talk to you soon,
Sophie 🙂
Dear Mrs. Watson and the 2/3’s,
We really liked your Picasso Monsters. They are very colorful. We noticed that the faces looked a little different then our faces. We have all seen Picasso’s art work before so, we recognize the style. Your use of colors made your creations unique. Our favorite part was the monster teeth.
Do all of the 2/3’s have their Halloween costumes picked out yet?
Keep up the good work!

Dear Brianna,
Thank you so much for your super comment. We thought our monsters were pretty cool too. There were a lot of great colours to pick from and different odds and ends to use for the details. What kind of art do you like to do?
Your friends,
Mrs. W and the 2/3s
Dear Mrs.Watson and 2/3’s,
Your monsters were so creative! Where did you get the idea to do a project like that? I wish my class could do that.
Your friend, a techie kid Jordan
Dear Jordan,
Thank you for visiting our blog and for leaving us a comment. We are glad that you liked our monsters. We got the idea from an art blog that Mrs. Watson follows. We get a lot of our art ideas from blogs. What kinds of art do you do at your school?
Your friends,
Mrs. W and the 2/3s
Dear Mrs. Watson,
I am giving my first reply. The monsters were pretty scary. The best part was when when the monsters were up close!
Your new friend,
One of the Techie Kids, Trevor
Dear Trevor,
We are very honored to be your first reply! You did a great job. We hope that they weren’t too scary. A lot of them look pretty funny too. What kind of monster would you make?
Your friends,

Dear Trista,
I like this class too it might not be the best class, but I admit it is pretty AWESOME! Rar I liked the monsters too which one is yours Trista? Mine is the one whith the pumpkin insides hanging over his shoulder and a yellow shirt. Whitch monster is your favourite monster? I think the smart bord is cool too. At my old school Courtenay El. we had a Smart Board just like us. The wiki sticks they’re just likemy bendables at home. So I agree our class is cool.
What is your favourite part of school? Do you have a favourite teacher? If you do who is it? My favourite teacher is Mrs. Watson. My favourite thing at school is P.E.

Trista
Dear Trista,
Wow! A fire and marshmallows…I am so jealous. I absolutely love roasted marshmallows. I also really like hot dogs cooked over a campfire too. I hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Mrs. W
Dear Mrs. Watson and Class,
Wow, you have all created such amazing looking Monsters! I love the color combinations and the terrific background additions. Job well done! I was so interested in how you made these creations, that I took the time to check out the art blog you mentioned in your post. It is an amazing resource full of wonderful ideas!
In our class, we will do a unit of study on Vincent Van Gogh later in the year. You can check out the project made by the 4WS students of last year on these two blog posts http://kwebb.edublogs.org/2011/05/vincent-van-gogh/ http://kwebb.edublogs.org/2011/06/come-onecome-allsilent-auction-in-4ws/. I think I will have to do a unit on Picasso this year too! You have inspired me!
Keep up the fantastic work!

Dear Mrs.W
I loved making the Picasso monsters it was fun fun fun.
Did you enjoy the project ?
What was your favourite thing?My favourite thing was decorating the shirt and the background did you like doing that?
Your friend
Ana:)
Dear Ana,
I loved the Picasso Monsters too. I love how they all look so different. I think my favourite part was seeing all the unique ideas everyone had for their monsters and backgrounds.
I love art!
Mrs. W
this video makes me wan’t to be in your class even more now
Dear Charlize,
It seems like just the other day that you were in this class. Time goes by way too quickly. We had a lot of fun with this art project, but you do some pretty amazing things in art in your class as well. I love looking at your pieces in the hallway. I especially love the daisies that are in the entryway right now.
See you at school tomorrow!
Mrs. W
Dear Mrs. Watson’s Class,
You are so amazing! I love your Picasso Monsters! The music in the video captured the energy of the monsters.
I have shared your blog with our art teacher. She is doing some Picasso lessons right now too and will be so impressed with the quality of your work.
Now I’m wondering…what will you do next? Have you read the book Picasso and a Girl with a Ponytail? It’s a picture book about Picasso based on a factual event in his life. Lawrence Anholt wrote it.
Impressed in Seattle,
Mrs. Hembree
Dear Mrs. Hembree,
Thank you so much for looking at our monsters and for leaving us such a nice comment. Our next art project will be artwork for our town Winter Fest which is quickly approaching. This year the theme is peacocks. Everyone in the school will make a peacock and they will all go up in the community hall.
We haven’t heard of that book before, but will have to see if we can get it from the library. We love finding out about new books!
Your friends,
Mrs. W and the 2/3s
Hi Mrs Watson its me Sharon. I realy liked doing the monsters but it was so cool to have the video with the monster mash music. Today I loved reading to lilly and trista the story of a baby orka trying to find its pod. I got to see lots of orka pods this summer when we went sailing on our boat.
Dear Class,
I really like your Picasso monsters. My favourite one was Ana’s. I liked it because it was pink and pretty. I liked all the rest too. I wonder what amazing project/craft you will come up with next.
Some day I would like to make a Picasso monster.

Well, I better go.
from your friend Oceana
Dear Oceana,
It sure is great seeing comments from you! I would love to hear more about your kitten. What does it look like? What did you name it? I thought it was so cute that he got scared of your monster, poor little thing.
Hope to see more comments soon!
Your friend,
Mrs. W
Hi Mrs Watson and Class
We loved the slideshow of your artwork. Your artworks were very creative and colourful. Scary too! We would like to try the artworks for ourselves, so thank you for the inspiration. We hope that you all continue to do some more inspirational work! Do you have any suggestions for Christmas?
