When Pigasso met Mootisse by Nina Laden is a great book for elementary art students. It is full of colorful pig and moose versions of Pablo Picasso's and Henri Matisse's artwork, playful word puns, and a bit of art history.

I put together an active learning lesson to accompany this story using an ipad app called, Compare a Twist. This app allows you to make custom lessons on any concept that helps student literally sort out their facts. I demonstrate how to download the lesson and use it in the quick video below. The lessons asks students to sort images by artist.

I posted this Picasso and Matisse Compare-a-Twist lesson on my Wiki. Follow these steps on your ipad to snag my lesson.
1. Download App
2. Find my lessons
3. Click on the lessons 
-Matisse or Picasso
Here are some others too:
- Lines or Shapes
-Primary or Secondary Colors (with images)

If these aren't importing, then grab my folder of images, save them to your iPad,  and build the lesson in the lesson creator part of the app. 

Or use this link to grab my lessons from my dropbox.

I found your site through the resources posted on the ICE 2013 site. I am very interested in your video published on this page: http://drydenart.weebly.com/1/post/2012/07/pigasso-and-mootisse.html - but it doesn't seem to work - I tried to view it on vimeo directly and that didn't seem to work either. Your site is amazing!! Thank you for sharing so much! Have a great day

Hello Darlene,
Are you referring to the Compare-a-twist Pigasso/Mootisse lesson video? https://vimeo.com/46594298
I just tested it and it worked fine. Hmmm.
