Description
Have your students create a collaborative poster and learn about Pablo Picasso in a fun, fresh, and engaging way! Through this activity, students will explore Picasso’s groundbreaking contributions to modern art, his role in developing Cubism, and his enduring influence on artistic expression. As they work together, they’ll also strengthen their teamwork and communication skills while contributing to one unified final product.
This biography research activity is an excellent addition to art lessons, artist studies, or units on creativity and cultural movements. Students will connect Picasso’s innovation, experimentation, and artistic legacy to broader themes of imagination, perspective, and historical influence.
Students will begin by researching Pablo Picasso and gathering information about his background, artistic periods, and major works. They’ll then record their findings in the designated sections on the poster before working together to color or paint and assemble the final display. Once completed, the six-piece poster can be printed on regular paper or cardstock and will measure approximately 28" x 15" when taped together. For long-lasting classroom use, you can laminate the finished product!
This resource includes student directions, a project rubric, and a brainstorm graphic organizer. It also includes six blank coloring pages that come together to form one cohesive poster, a Pablo Picasso answer key, an example of the final project colored, and a digitally colored example to guide and inspire your students.
