The students were introduced to Pablo Picasso and looked at his constructions and collages. In the lesson students were instructed on the basic anatomy of a guitar, neck, sound hole, head stock, body, strings. Students were given a template and cardboard shapes, to construct a guitar form and special papers to decorate the constructed cardboard guitar. String added for strings.

Sometime between October and December 1912, Pablo Picasso (1881–1973) made a guitar. Cobbled together from cardboard, paper, string, and wire, materials that he cut, folded, threaded, and glued, Picasso’s silent instrument resembled no sculpture ever seen before. In 1914 the artist reiterated his fragile papery construction in a more fixed and durable sheet metal form. These two Guitars, both gifts from the artist to MoMA, bracket an incandescent period of material and structural experimentation in Picasso’s work. Picasso: Guitars 1912–1914 explores this breakthrough moment in 20th-century art, and the Guitars’ place within it. Bringing together some 70 closely connected collages, constructions, drawings, mixed-media paintings, and photographs assembled from over 30 public and private collections worldwide, this exhibition offers fresh insight into Picasso’s cross-disciplinary process in the years immediately preceding World War I.

Often the images are not related which makes creating these compositions a playful exercise. In Mr. Dali's painting of Persistence of Memory, the composition is dreamlike with multiple objects in a space. When you create your collage you can choose to create a space as in the painting or you may choose to collage like the example. Add some drawing to the picture, with pencil, colored pencil, draw at least one object to give your composition variety. The Possibilities are endless! Levi Buss, 5th Grade Materials Magazines Glue stick Plain paper Scissors Colored pencils Pencil Inspiration Salvador Dali 1904-1989 Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Vocabulary
