Picasso’s Le Coq

One of my favorite lessons to date is Picasso’s Le Coq, or “The Rooster.” The impetus was the Chinese Year of the Chicken, by way of, I suppose, Spain. It’s a relatively simple guided drawing that then turns into an exploration of pattern and color for the children. Each one reflects the unique personality of the artist. The roosters I chose for this post were done by eight-year-olds.
