TASK 3 – Your version of ‘The Weeping Woman’In the box below, or on a separate piece of paper, you will create your final piece using all previous research and drawings.

1. Look carefully at ‘The Weeping Woman’ and note how Picasso has used two different viewpoints of a face. The edge of the face looks like a profile, but we can still see two eyes and two nostrils. Try to recreate a similar design using your drawings from Task 2.2. Now look again at how Picasso has used lots of straight and jagged lines and edges. Make parts of your design more broken, sharp and jagged. 3. Look back at the list of colours you wrote down in Task 1. Use these colours to fill in all the different sections of your design. Include a background! (You can use one, or all three materials listed: coloured pencils, paint, collage)4. To finish off your piece make some lines and edges bolder than others to help make different parts stand out. 5. Is there any other technique you can use of Picasso’s? If the answer is yes – USE IT!!!
