Make your own Picasso! This website allows you to create your own Picasso head! Make sure to create your picture just like Picasso would. Maybe put the eyes where the mouth should be, or the ears where the nose would be. Be creative! This website also allows you to publish your Picasso head so others can see. You can also check out what other artists created.
2. George Washington and the Lansdowne portrait
http://www.georgewashington.si.edu/kids/portrait.html
We learned about the symbols hidden in George Washington’s Lansdowne portrait in the classroom and at the museum. This website allows you to put your detective skills to work, as you help the National Portrait Gallery solve a mystery! You must follow the clues to find the missing symbols in Washington’s portrait.
The rest of the website has fun activities like puzzles, word searches, and crosswords to complete alone or with your family.
