We have reached the end of February, the shortest month: March, the month of spring, is waiting for us! Let's try to represent the passing of the seasons in an artistic way: we will be inspired by the works in the museum and then, with many different techniques, we will make a fantastic half-winter and half-spring tree, setting it in our favorite landscape

A bit like Picasso 
The world-famous artist Pablo Picasso depicted people in a somewhat... unusual way! It will be fun to choose a portrait from those on display in the museum, or a photograph of our own, and try to transform them into the Cubist style: what will come out of it?
