Pablo Picasso, a famous Spanish artist, is known for using two or more different styles of art within a single creation. He raised a commotion in the art world in 1907 when his painting depicted striking angular shapes and contours, pioneering Cubism. Cubism fragments figures or scenes and uses geometric shapes to create partially abstracted figures that looks a little bit like a broken mirror.
Today we used black construction paper and an assortment of oil pastels. We followed the instructions found online by Deep Space Sparkle
Vocabulary We Used:
Cubism: using geometric shapes to represent natural people, landscapes, scenes.
Line: Element of Art created by pen, pencil, or any tool
Symmetry: arrangements of parts on opposite sides that are the same. Picasso create the opposite, called Asymmetrical.
