START WITH ART: Guitar

This takes us less than five minutes each morning and tends to be re-visited later in the day at the dinner table or during our evening reading sessions. 

Here's how to #STARTWITHART:

Step one: Take a look at the artwork below

Step two: Read the questions below the picture of the art to the students/children in your life

Step three: See how starting your day with art can ignite creativity and critical thinking! 

It's that easy!

Start with Art Questions:

• Notice the different shapes and pieces used to create the guitar. How do you think Picasso used these shapes to show the guitar in a unique way?

• The artwork is made of simple colors. How do you think these colors help focus your attention on the shapes and design of the guitar?

• Imagine playing this guitar. How do you think it would sound, given the way Picasso has broken it into different parts and shapes?
