This Kapow pupil video is part of the Kapow Spanish scheme of work. It explores the lives and work of two famous Spanish artists, Pablo Picasso and Maria Blanchard, and how they helped to create and develop a bold new style of art called Cubism.

Picasso, born in Malaga in 1881, became a world-famous artist known for using bold colours and geometric shapes to show objects from different angles at the same time. Maria Blanchard, born in the same year in Santander, developed her own flowing version of Cubism that was full of movement and emotion. Despite facing many challenges, both artists made a lasting impact on how we see and create art today.

The video is designed to be shown to pupils as part of Spanish, Upper key stage 2, Year 5, Unit 2: Spanish portraits, Lesson 3: Cubism
