Picasso Portfolio Workshop 2025 - Surrealism in Motion (Surrealism)
Course Format
Course Overview

"Part of the Picasso Portfolio this summer, students will apply the genius artist's style and techniques of his Blue Period to create a 2D pop-up art project of a toy instrument. Complete all five workshops of the Picasso Portfolio and earn a certificate of completion.
When Pablo Picasso lost a dear friend in 1901, he turned his sadness into art by diving into the colour blue. His famed Blue Period was the result of time. In this class, we will definitely not drive our students into sadness! Instead, we will guide them through a 2D pop-up art project that merges Picasso’s techniques with modern collage. Students will leave our workshop with their own toy instrument and an appreciation for tones, shades, and the assembly of disparate pieces to craft an artistic whole. """"Part of the Picasso Portfolio this summer, students will apply the genius artist's style and techniques of his Surrealism Period to create images of organic shapes and objects depicting motion.

Can a rock throw itself? Such questions prompt the imagination and bring the artist to unexplored and fertile grounds of creativity. In this workshop, our students will learn from the example of Picasso who gave organic shapes and objects a sense of movement and purpose despite their static forms. Students would leave the class with a sense of freedom in experimenting with fresh and dreamy concepts for their art."
