Title: CUBISM


1
CUBISM
  • Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a
    mountain and looking around. If you go higher,
    things will look different if you go lower,
    again they will look different. It is a point of
    view. Jacques Lipchitz

Cubism
  • A name suggested by Henri Mattisse in 1909
  • A non-objective approach to painting
  • Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque in 1906
  • Pre-Cubist (1906) emphasizing the process of
    construction, of creating a pictorial rhythm, and
    converting the represented forms into the
    essential geometric shapes (cube, sphere,
    cylinder, cone)
  • Analytical Cubism (1909-1911) transpose the
    three- dimensional subjects into the flat images
    on the surface of the canvas.
  • Cubist palette was limited to monochromatic scale
    colors, dominated by grays and browns.
  • Synthetic Cubism (1912-1920s) focused on the
    construction (new textures and materials) and not
    the represented objects in the painting became
    more abstract and color expanded to many other
    colors

8
Students started by drawing a large, fairly
simple image in the center of their paper
9
Then they cut out a simple shape, which may or
may not be somehow related to their chosen
subject, out of cardstock.
10
They traced this shape all over their design in
order to break-up or 'fracture' the image. Below
you can see this student used a skull for her
main subject, and a bone shape to break it up.
11
Then, using colored pencils, students chose their
colors and practiced creating gradations from
light to dark- simply vary the pressure of the
colored pencil.
12
Then start coloring each section- change colors
when you encounter a line.
