Below you'll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for a Picasso Art Project Video and Picasso Coloring page. It's a fun self portrait project that teaches a bit about cubism at the same time.

Draw like Picasso Drawing

Picasso Art Project Tutorial Video

This Picasso art project began as an oil pastel project years ago, and did lend itself well to the painterly qualities that pastels sometimes have. I decided to share this new version though, created just with crayons to show how pressing hard can still create some rich colors. The sample art above was actually made by layering crayons on the large face shapes. It makes for some interesting colors and texture.

If you'd like your students to remember that cubism is about seeing more than one side of something at a time, then I don't know a more literal way to interpret that than a front and profile view of a face, smooshed together. You can't help but make some interesting instant abstract art.

Pablo Picasso was a Spanish born painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and theatre designer who played a huge role in the art world in the early 1900s. His creating and experimenting helped him to become one of the best-known figures in 20th-century art. If there is only limited time for art history lessons for your elementary students, a Picasso art project will always be a smart way to go.

Getting Started with Drawing Guides

The best way to get students off to a good start to any drawing lesson is to show them how to use guides as a reference point.

You may have noticed that all of the tutorials on this site have a dashed line running through the center of each step, both in the horizontal and vertical direction. If students make their own centered lines on their own paper, before drawing, they will have an easy reference to follow.

For instance, as seen in Step 1 below, the beginning of the profile drawing needs start at the top and go down past the middle, mostly sitting on the center vertical line. It's important get that line centered so the face will be balanced when complete. When beginners get their drawing off to a good start, there's a better chance of them feeling successful by the time they are done.

So does that mean students need to get out a ruler to draw a big fat line down the center of their paper before they start? Goodness no, please don't! That will most likely be hard to erase and distract from any finished art. No, simply fold the sheet of paper in half both ways, make a crease, and unfold. The beauty is that by the time the drawing is done and colored in, the creases will disappear.

And now, on to the Picasso art project.

Drawing Frida Kahlo

Now students that would like to learn how to draw Frida Kahlo can have some guidance in creating her likeness. This one includes her love of flowers, bright colors, and of course, trademark eyebrows.

Frida Kahlo (1907 - 1954) was a Mexican painter known for her many self-portrait paintings. She was inspired by her heritage, and loved to make colorful and bright work, filled with symbolic images. As a strong and determined woman, she overcame her struggles and accomplished a great deal as an artist.

For a darker look, try drawing on black paper with a pencil and coloring with oil pastels. When the drawing is complete, trace the lines again with a black pastel to make them really stand out.

Looking for a Follow up Project?

Now it's easy to make a large scale mural that honors this amazing artist. All you need to do is print out the pages of a PDF template, have students color it according to the guide, and then tape it back together.

Your students get to experience a fun collaborative art project and you get a 43″ x 60″ work of art for your classroom.

Jesse Trees are a very old Christmas Tradition and first started in medieval times. They are used to help tell the story of the Bible from creation to the Christmas Story.

The name comes from Jesse who was the Father of the great Jewish King David. One prophecy in the Bible, in the book of Isaiah, says:
1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD--
3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
Isaiah 11:1-4 (NIV)
A branch is a sign of new life and new beginnings. Jesus was a descendent of King David and Christians believe that Jesus is this new branch.

The first Jesse trees were large carvings, tapestries or even stained glass windows put in Churches that helped illiterate people (people who can't read or write) to learn about the Bible from creation to the Christmas Story. But now Jesse Trees are used as a kind of Advent Calendar. You can use a normal Christmas tree or a banner in the shape of a tree. Each day through advent (or sometimes just on the four Sundays of advent) a special decoration or ornament (similar to a Chrismon), that tells a story from the Bible, is hung on the tree.

Jesse Tree Symbols and Decorations

There are very many different stories and symbols you can use. I've listed 25 stories and symbols that I especially like!

Yarn Hat Ornament Made With Recycled Toilet Paper Rolls Craft Tutorial

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Make Your Own Ornaments!

Who doesn't love making their own Christmas ornaments?

Right before Christmas, my daughter brought home one of these yarn hat ornaments that she'd made in school. I think it has to be one of the cutest homemade ornaments I've ever seen, and it was proudly displayed front and center on our tree.

I kept it out after all of the holiday decorations were put away in hopes of learning how to make one and, because she knows I write online craft tutorials, my daughter eagerly taught me.

I was surprised that they were so easy to make, and so far I've made five of them! Depending on the yarn colors you use, they don't have to be just for Christmas either. I'll definitely be adding them to my holiday crafting list and will be including them in gift decorations next year.

Make sure to save your empty toilet paper rolls for this project. One roll can make four ornaments. The roll, plus a few other supplies that you probably have on hand, are the only things you'll need to make it.

The step-by-step photos and instructions provided should help you create one of these cuties for yourself.

Supplies

For this project you'll need:

Yarn - About 40 pieces of yarn, each cut about 12 inches long.

Toilet paper rolls

Facial Tissue - Most brands have 2 layers of tissues, pull them apart and use one layer per hat so there isn't too much bulk.

Scissors - Nice sharp ones to cut through the yarn.

Step 1: Cut the Toilet Paper Roll

Cut the toilet paper roll into four even segments. You can get about four one-inch segments out of one roll. It may look a little squashed when you cut it, but that goes away once the yarn is applied.

Step 2: Start Putting the Yarn on

1. Take one piece of yarn and match the two cut ends, forming a "U" on one end. Feed the "U" part of the yarn through the center of the toilet paper roll.

2. Feed the other ends of the yarn through the "U", wrapping the yarn around the toilet paper roll.

3. Pull snuggly so a knot forms on one edge of the roll.

Step 3: Finish Wrapping the Yarn

1. Continue wrapping in the color pattern of your choice.

2. Cover the entire toilet paper roll with yarn. Don't skimp here or you may be able to see the roll and that doesn't look so nice.

3. Shake out the strings and untangle any that might need it. It should look a little bit like a jellyfish at this point.

Step 4: Feed the Yarn Through the Center

1. Gather the yarn with one hand and hold the tissue roll with the other. Twist the bunch of yarn.

2. Push the twist through the center of the toilet paper roll.

3. Pull out all of the yarn through the center.

4. Pull gently and untangle any yarn that needs it.

Step 5: Tie Off and Form the Hat Pom Pom

1. Gather the yarn together and, using a piece of yarn in a coordinating color, tie the bunch together. Make sure to knot it securely.

2. Take one of the pieces of the facial tissue you split earlier, crumple it up, and put it inside the hat.

3. Decide how long you want the pompoms to be and, using sharp scissors, cut off the excess yarn. You may need to trim it to even it out or make it a bit shorter.

4. Fluff up the yarn pompom.

Step 6: Add the Hanger

To add a hanger, just get a piece of yarn, tie it once around the bunch of yarn, securing it with a knot. Then decide how long you want your hanger to be and tie the two ends together. Make sure to double-knot it so it doesn't come loose. You can also tie it in a bow.

Below you'll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Haunted House and a Haunted Coloring Page. There are several styles to choose from, because choices are always fun, when it comes to drawing.

Haunted House Drawing

Haunted House Tutorial Video

Haunted houses come in all shapes and sizes, of course, but if students really want to make them look scary, I have a few tips for drawing your best haunted house.

* The more unbalanced and pieced-together looking the house is, the better. They need to be the opposite of neat and orderly. That's why this house has an overall funky and irregular shape to it.

* They need to be dull and boring in color. Given that the neglect is often part of the story, the more blah the colors, the better."

* The creepy details will make for an interesting story. Why is one light on and none of the others? Is there a black cat staring back at me? And did I really just see a ghost in that window?

* The spooky season has a lot to offer, when it comes to creativity. That's the fun part to embrace, if you ask me.

Scream Art Portrait

I wish it was my brilliant idea to mix blow painting with a Scream art project, but it actually comes from a woman named Joslyn who first posted it on her blog in 2011. She has further tips and a recommended book so please check it out HERE. Thanks Joslyn, it's a super popular project idea!

The first step is for students to draw themselves with definite scream look to their face. Fortunately, it only takes a few simple tweaks. The mouth, of course, needs to be open wide, but you also need to slide your features up a bit. When the face looks as if it's raised, then the screaming look gets even more exaggerated.

One tip to pass on to students - be sure they color their face really well. In order to have their watercolor blow paint look like it's sitting on the skin, there needs to be a heavy layer of wax crayon underneath. Shading lightly will not give the same results as the example above. It takes extra time, but is oh so worth it.

WARM UP TIP
Look at Edvard Munch's "The Scream" painting before drawing to see how much expression can be created with lines and color.

Largest ever Andy Warhol exhibition in Ireland to open

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The largest ever Andy Warhol exhibition in Ireland opens this weekend, featuring 250 works of art including the iconic Campbell's soup cans, flowers and Marilyn Monroe.

The exhibition, Andy Warhol Three Times Out, was five years in the making and includes artwork borrowed from museums and private collections around the world.

A broad range of his work has been selected from the iconic Campbell's Soup Cans, Elizabeth Taylor, Jackie Kennedy and Chairman Mao works, to his multiple self-portraits along with skulls and electric chairs.

His avant garde films Empire, Sleep, Kiss and Outer and Inner Space will also be on display.

Visitors to the exhibition, which opens in the Hugh Lane Gallery on Friday, will also experience Warhol's immersive Silver Clouds sculpture.

The exhibition is curated by Barbara Dawson, director of Hugh Lane Gallery who said it shows how Warhol "utterly changed the way the world experiences art".

"His work explored the relationship between artistic expression and the flourishing consumer culture of the 1960s, new technology and celebrity status, as well as mortality, in a diverse body of works that underpins his artistic genius."

She said many of his themes are relevant today.

"As society navigates the age of social media and surveillance capitalism - how our data is being captured and monetised - it is impossible to overlook Warhol's prescient vision so relevant to us today," she said.

Andy Warhol was born in Pittsburgh in 1928 to immigrant parents from Slovakia.

He moved to New York in 1949, where he became one of America's leading commercial artists.

By the early 1960s he had moved into the field of fine art and was exhibiting his Pop Art paintings in New York and Los Angeles.

He set up the legendary Silver Factory in the 1960s from here he promoted the rock band, The Velvet Underground.

Vincent Fremont met Andy Warhol in 1969 and went on to become firm friends and executive manager of Andy Warhol's studio.

Attending the press preview of the exhibition in the Hugh Lane Gallery, Mr Frement recounted meeting Warhol in New York on Woodstock weekend.

"I felt very lucky even then to work with one of the great artists of the 20th century. I always tell people when they ask about my education that I went to the great university of Andy Warhol," he said.

Unique to the exhibition will be a section focusing on the work and collaborations both Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon had with acclaimed US artist and photographer Peter Beard.

The Gallery said this provokes "new thinking on the status of these two titans of the 20th century".

The 250 works are on loan from museums and private collections in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh.

Michael Dempsey, the head of exhibitions, says as a result of the lenders "we have a unique exhibition here in Dublin".

He said "when you put a Campbell Soup can beside a large dollar sign, it says something that Andy was trying to say in the 60s".

"These are 60s images, but they have become iconic for us today. We have the commodification of the artwork."

Mr Dempsey described Warhol as a "great trickster, he was the prankster of the art world, you never quite knew where you stood with this artist because he was always performing his role, who he was, who an artist was".

The ticketed exhibition opens on Friday and runs until 28 January.
