Paint Like Picasso


Pablo Picasso was a famous artist from Spain. He didn’t try to paint things exactly as they looked in real life (he found this quite boring). Instead, he liked to experiment by painting them in as many different ways he could think of.

 
Pick a person or object – maybe one of your parents or siblings, or a piece of furniture in your room. Try to think of different ways you can draw them/it.


  • Can you draw them/it using only one colour?
  • Can your draw them/it out of shapes (like cubes, circles or triangles)?
  • Can you draw them in the weirdest way you can think of?
  • Bottle Instrument
  • Musical instruments are often very tempting to play with. They’re also very expensive (and harder to use than they look), which means people are always telling you not to touch them. But luckily, you can make music even if you don’t have a guitar or a cello to hand.
  • Find some empty bottles (the more you have the better). Fill them with water to differing levels (mostly full, quite full, halfway full, quite empty, mostly empty) and arrange them in order.
    You can now make different notes by tapping each bottle with a spoon or blowing over the tops of them.
    See if you can play a song someone else can recognise. If things are going well, start a water bottle band. Find yourself a good name.
    If things are going really well, fill bottles with different sorts of liquid. What happens to the sound when you fill a bottle with milk, or creamy soup? (Make sure you ask an adult before using a different liquid – and don’t drink any afterwards!) 
  • Your Own Orchard

  • If you think about it, it’s incredible that such large things in nature – like trees – start their lives as such small objects – like seeds. 
  • The next time you have an apple, instead of throwing the core away, split it open and take out the apple seeds. Leave them to dry on a paper towel for a day or so.
  • Find a small pot and fill it with soil (you could try using any soil, but special seed-starting soil works best). Make a few small holes in the soil with your little finger and drop one seed into each hole, covering the top with more soil.
  • Keep the pot somewhere warm and sunny, watering them every couple of days. Not every seed will grow into a tree, but with any luck, within a month or two, you should be able to see shoots beginning to grow. Eventually you’ll need to replant them outside so they can grow into trees. Make sure you ask your parents before doing so!
