Art Songs

If you haven't come across this site...time to check it out! I am teaching a kindergarden prep art class this summer and wanted some cool songs for the kids. Found 'em!

I think my favorite so far is the Picasso Polka by Greg Percy:

One eye looks straight ahead, the other to the right
My arm is where my leg should be
My pants are kinda tight
I don’t know what is wrong with me
I think Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
CHORUS:
One eye is looking sideways, Picasso Polka
They other’s looking my way, Picasso Polka
I might be sort of Cubey, Picasso Polka
Maybe rose, maybe blue, Picasso polka
My head it once was round, but now it is a square
My elbow has three bends in it
My foot looks like a chair
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
CHORUS
My hair is kind of blue
My house is kind of blue
The sky is sort of blue
I’m thinkin he was blue
I don’t know what is wrong you see
I guess Picasso painted me
It looks like I’ve been in a fight
