Picasso This!
I truly enjoy teaching a variety of computer classes, both in group and private tutoring settings.
I recently had my youth students create their own Picasso-style images on the computer. As I was searching for some examples and inspiration, I found a snappy little website called Picasso Head (see www.picassohead.com). To the left is one of my “creations.”
The website uses Flash technology to allow the visitor to create her own Picasso style image using a few different tools. First, a head is chosen, and then the parts of the face.
Color may be applied to the various items in the drawing. The parts may also be scaled, rotated and mirrored.
The site even offers “abstracts” to add in to your image. Once the piece is finished, the artist can email the link to the artwork. A link is emailed; when clicked it takes the reader to the PicassoHead.com gallery to view the image.
The screen shot to the right gives an idea of the tools available on the site.
This website was a fun way to introduce the children to Picasso style artwork, while also giving them an opportunity to exercise their own creativity.
Picasso Head is the creation of RF Innovation Studios (http://www.rfistudios.com).
