Piccassohead

For this assignment, I created an abstract piece of art on the Picassohead website.  This was a fun activity and something that I will definitely incorporate into a lesson for my students to use.  I love art, so I enjoyed playing around with the features in creating my abstract image.  This was a great way for me to express my creative and artistic side.  
 
My Picassohead is presented below and can also be found in the Picassohead Gallery.

I didn't have much difficulty in creating my Piccassohead.  I simply went to the site and clicked on create, viewed the features, and selected the images I wanted to add.  I did get stuck on how to delete the unwanted symbols as I was playing around.  I started over once, then I saw the tool bar on the bottom of the screen.  I also noticed the color tool option, so I added color in as well.  I was slightly unsure if I needed to save the image at first, so I did.  Fortunately, I completed the steps successfully in creating my Piccassohead.
I feel that this activity goes along with Teaching Standards 4A and 4D.  I gained professional learning and professional contribution through a new site that I was unfamiliar with.  I can integrate a history lesson and abstract art, and then allow my students to create there own piece of abstract art using the Piccassohead website.   This site will give my students the opportunity to become engaged in global society and with technology.  The students can create and post a Piccassohead to be viewed by others, in accordance with connecting to digital society by viewing other people's created Piccassoheads in the gallery.  This is a great way to incorporate student learning for self knowledge, and also in the digital age of 21st Century leaning.
