Whether you are looking for a party theme to celebrate the end of the school year or just planning fun activities to do with the kids during the summer break, these Picasso inspired art party ideas will get the kids excited to get creative with his best friends.
Set up a Picasso Inspired Art Station
Before you venture out to purchase new art supplies, check out your inventory. It might save you time and money. Gather your art supplies and get set up a fun Picasso inspired Art Station. Use clear plastic bucket containers and Picasso themed paper cups to display paint brushes, paint tubes, sponges, scissors, glue sticks and more.
These Picasso inspired plates are wonderful for oil pastels since they can get so messy.
Picasso puffy stickers are perfect to spruce up your clear plastic buckets and add character to your station.
Art Station Essentials
- Watercolor Paper
- Watercolor Palettes
- Paint Brushes
- Sponges (great for adding texture and dimension to the artwork)
- Paper towel (I used the napkins for the Picasso party collection) for drying the brushes
- Water cups
- Pencils and erasers for sketching
- Acrylic tubes
- Scissors
- Glue
- Oil pastels and markers for outlining
Picasso Inspired Abstract Portrait Artwork
Encourage the kids to create their own Picasso inspired abstract portrait. They can start with a pencil for sketching, then use vibrant watercolors before finishing up with black oil pastel or marker to do the outlines. The wonderful thing about this art project is, there’s no right or wrong. The goal is to apply Picasso cubism style and allow the kids to express themselves through their artwork.

Invite them to make great use of the art station for extra supplies.
