In the classroom- Picasso Line Potraits

Been working on some portraits with my third grade. I got the idea of Picasso Inspired portraits from a awesome colleague of mine a few years back and have doing them ever since ( thanks Mrs. Noe) http://noeartstudio.blogspot.com/?m=1
But this year we focused on Line. Here is the PowerPoint, lesson samples and student work. I think they did a great job!
