INTRODUCTION
• Pablo Picasso is a famous painter that was born in Spain in
1881, but spent much of his time in France.
• He is one of the founding fathers of Cubism which is a type of art
where the subject of the painting is broken up and painted into
geometric and organic shapes.

INTRODUCTION
Pablo Picasso’s work is divided into periods:
 Blue Period: The images were sad and painted in blue and bluegreen.
 Rose Period: The images were more happy and painted in orange
and pink.
 Cubism Period: Images broken up and re-painted using geometric
and organic shapes.

• In addition to his paintings, he also made collages using different
kinds of paper and materials.
• He cut the paper into different shapes, placed them on his
canvas and glued them.

LEARN GEOMETRIC AND ORGANIC SHAPES
•You will be paired with another member of the class and will use the 2 computers in the back of the room.
•Each day, you will work on this WebQuest for about 15 minutes so that other students can also participate. Be sure to take good
notes!
•While you and your partner are working on the WebQuest, the rest of the class will be in the math workshop.
•The research is to be completed in the classroom so that you can learn from your partner; the collage can be worked on at home
– be sure to talk to your parents about Picasso and the collage you are creating; they can even assist with helping you to find
materials for your collage!
•Once you have your partner, you will learn more about geometric and organic shapes:

The purpose of this WebQuest is to allow students to understand the artistic contributions of Pablo Picasso
though his artwork in the Cubism Period and collages. These students will also recognize that many of his
works from that era incorporate geometric and organic shapes. This WebQuest is designed for third grade
and above.
•
Students will research the works (paintings and collages) of Pablo Picasso from the Cubism Period, research
geometric and organic shapes, apply the mathematical concepts to the paintings and collages, discuss their
findings with their partner and create a collage of their favorite food using geometric and organic shapes.
They will also write down constructed responses and notes from their research on Picasso and shapes.
•
This assignment addresses several of the NY State Learning Standards for Mathematics, English and
Language Arts, Art and the ISTE.NETS Standards.
•
Students will initially work in pairs to conduct the research on Picasso and Geometry then work individually
on their collage and constructed responses. Both students will present their findings to the whole group and
their collage will be included in the class gallery in the hallway. They are to complete their research in class
and can work on their collage at home if desired. Children are encouraged to talk to their parents about their
collage and Picasso.
•
At the conclusion of the WebQuest, children are directed to a website where they can make a “Picasso
Head”. For extra credit, they are asked to write a 5 sentence expository paragraph about their “Picasso
Head”. They are to turn it in one week after they present on their collages.

TEACHER PAGE - CONCLUSION
•
The goal of this WebQuest is to assist students to see geometric and organic shapes in the work of
Pablo Picasso and be able to understand his contributions in art.
•
All the information listed is to provide students with the necessary knowledge needed to research
mathematical concepts, Pablo Picasso and apply their knowledge while creating a collage. If the
students knew some information about geometric and organic shapes or Picasso, the sites also serve
as a level of reinforcement for the learner. After completing this assignment, students should have a
good understanding of the geometric and organic shapes, how they can create a collage that is
inspired by a celebrated artist and be able to articulate information about Picasso and the Cubism
Period.
•
Students will have researched both geometric and organic shapes along with Picasso, would have rich
conversations with their partners about the information they found and bring together all the
information to create a collage inspired by Picasso in the Cubism Period.
