This week in inquiry we have been focusing on finding information, when you find information you think about the questions that you have, what kind of resources might help and where to find them.

Noam is focusing on Piccasso for her inquiry into ‘How we express ourselves” she looked up Piccaso’s work and chose the image of the Weeping Woman because it caught her eye. Noam said she “liked the colour and the shapes in this picture, it’s interesting and different.”

Noam then researched the question “what does the weeping woman express?” and found that Dora Maar was Picasso’s mistress from 1936 until 1944. In their relationship Picasso painted her in a number of his paintings and was quoted saying; “For me she is the weeping woman… it was the deep reality not the superficial one.”

So far Noam has enjoyed choosing her own form of art and independently researching Picasso.

Thanks for the chat Noam!
