So, Ava's been studying portraits in art. Last week we looked at this painting, by Picasso, as an example of a portrait that doesn't look "real". Ava was told to draw a portrait of someone in this style.
And here it is. It is her friend Sarah. When I asked Ava what about this portrait made it not look real, she said that one eye was bigger than the other, and "Sarah doesn't really have those shoes or that outfit". (Personally, I'm a big fan of this look...the capri leggings under the car wash skirt??! Haven't ever seen that combo, maybe Ava's on to something.)
Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. - Pablo Picasso
