Pablo Picasso Mains Aux Fleurs

I introduced Pablo Picasso last week to my students.  I read "Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail", by Laurence Anholt.  I googled Picasso and was able to show them a variety of paintings he created, including some from his "Blue" and"Cubism" period.  I showed my students the original of the "Mains Aux Fleurs" and tried to recreate it with construction paper.  In Picasso's original he used only the primary colours, but I let my students use bright spring colours.  I gave them ideas on how to create flower types and I was pleasantly excited with what they came up with.
