Picasso was a Spanish painter and sculptor born in 1881. He is the co-founder of cubism and is one of the most influential modern artists of the 20th century. He is most known for his abstract paintings of faces. It is obvious that the painting is of a face although it usually showed a profile view as well as a frontal view with various facial features. The facial features are placed in various places and sometimes duplicated. I start this lesson by talking to the student's about Pablo Picasso.
