January Mystery Artist
1. Born in Minneapolis on November 26, 1922, this artist knew as early as Kindergarten that he wanted to be a cartoonist.
2. In 1949, he submitted some of his comic strips called "Li'l Folks," but the publishers insisted on calling them "Peanuts" since "Li'l Folks" was too similar to another comic strip. The artist was very upset about it's new title.
3. On October 2, 1950 this nutty comic made its debuts in seven newspapers. The comic strips told the story and challenges of a wishy-washy boy, his beagle, and neighborhood friends. Many of the challenges and failures of the characters were inspired by the artist's actual life.

Cubism is a style of art in which the artist breaks the rules of realistic art by using flat shapes and showing more than on perspective (point of view) at the same time in their work.
Collage is the art technique of pasting a variety of materials to a background. Pablo Picasso used the technique over eighty years ago.
Directions: Your assignment is to select a photograph (newspaper, magazine, old photo, etc.) and turn it into a Cubist composition. Using scissors, cut the photograph into pieces, (Be careful not to make them too small!). Once you have cut the photograph into pieces, rearrange the pieces and paste the picture together in a new order.
!!!!Please ask the owner of the photo before you cut it out!!!!
