Pablo Picasso research

Pablo Picasso was a great artist from a very young age. I feel as though he will be good to include in the book because it will make children realise that they can achieve things at a young age. Picasso also had a very interesting life and there are lots of facts fun about him to include. I also included a photo of Picasso

• He sometimes painted other famous artists paintings but in his own style.
• Some of Picasso's paintings are amongst the most expensive in the world. 
• Picasso did not only paint, he also created Ceramic and bronze sculptors, drawings, etchings and even poetry! 
• When Picasso first began to paint he had a very realistic style but his style evolved into a more abstract, surreal style. 
• Picasso created the Cubism style where the subject of the painting would be drawn using lots of different shapes. These paintings looked a bit like they had been cut up into different shapes and glued back together.
