Pablo Picasso was among the most impactful artists of the 20th century. He is recognized for co-founding the Cubist movement, creating constructed sculpture, co-inventing collage, and for the diverse range of styles that he contributed to and examined.

For approximately 80 of his 91 years, Picasso dedicated himself to creating art that played a crucial role in the overall progress of modern art during the 20th century, especially through the creation of Cubism (alongside artist Georges Braque) around 1907.

Picasso is often regarded as THE genius of the twentieth century. Possibly more than any other artist, he transformed the course of art, initiating the modernist movement. He was an innovator of Cubism, subsequently of collage art, and eventually neo-classicism.

This lesson plan centers around the artwork of Pablo Picasso. Numerous activities are provided, arranged in two worksheets. Their answers are provided in the end. Six of his most famous works are also included.

This no prep Google Slides project works perfectly with almost any middle grade/YA fiction novel. While students are highly engaged and thinking creatively they are simultaneously analyzing text elements such as the plot, conflict, resolution, theme, and point of view of various characters. This resource includes directions, an editable yearbook template, and a teacher exemplar in case students need ideas bringing their work to life. Integrates seamlessly to Google Classroom!

The ELA department at my school uses independent projects like these in our choice boards as students finish their work early. This would also be great to replace book reports or as an extension or passion project!

Linear Relationships Art #1 - Graphing Straight Lines - PBL, Project Based Learning

This math art project embodies the principles of project-based learning, merging mathematics with artistic expression to engage students in a multifaceted educational experience. Students will graph 18 linear equations, meticulously tracing each line then creating intricate oblong shapes within spaces created by the lines.

The project culminates in a vibrant display of color as students fill in each unique shape, applying their understanding of mathematical concepts through a creative lens. This approach not only reinforces skills in graphing and geometry but also encourages artistic creativity and attention to detail. Ideal for fostering a deeper appreciation for the intersection of math and art, this project makes learning both interactive and visually compelling.

2 Versions Included

This math art project comes in two versions:

1. Equations are provided - this allows students to begin graph pre-determined equations, all projects will have the same outline. This will still allow for student artistic expression within their shape creation and color choices.

2. The second version is where students craft their own, adhering to specific criteria. The latter challenges gifted and talented learners, promoting higher-order thinking as they develop equations. This self-generated approach deepens understanding, fostering analytical skills and creative problem-solving in a mathematically artistic context.

I use this as an introduction activity for my middle school A/V Broadcasting class. I present a really quick overview of film and then they pick a topic with a partner. We take 2-3 days to research and build our presentations and then we take 2-3 days to present our findings. It's a quick introduction to the different periods of film, plus it allows me to see/hear all of my students before we start making videos.

I've included my rubric, which can be easily added into your LMS platform.
