Picasso-inspired soft sculptures

Art II students began making soft sculptures out of fabric. They looked at paintings by famous Spanish artist Pablo Picasso to inspired their designs. Picasso  is known for showing multiple perspectives simultaneously in his drawings and paintings and for using lots of bold lines and bright colors. The students began by making sketches on newsprint (below), which they will later transfer to cotton fabric, paint, sew, and stuff. More photos coming later this week!
