Art Folder Assignment
ART FOLDER 14
Directions: Your assignment is to select a photograph, (newspaper, magazine, unwanted photo, etc.) and turn it into a Cubist composition. Using scissors, cut the photograph into pieces, (be careful not to make them too small!). Once you have cut the photograph into pieces, rearrange the pieces and paste the picture together in a new order.
!!!!Please ask the owner of the picture before you cut it out!!!!!
Cubism is a style of art in which the artist breaks the rules of realistic art by using flat shapes and showing more than one perspective (point of view).
Collage is the art technique of pasting a variety of materials to a background. Pablo Picasso used the technique over eighty years ago.
