  1. Cubism By: Reem 7B

  2. What is Cubism? Cubism is a style of art in which the subject is represented in combinations of basic geometric shapes, sometimes even showing multiple viewpoints of a particular image. So its quite similar to the way we look at things from the minds eye rather than real life. Look at it this way; if you close your eyes and try to visualize a friend or a family member, you would probably only see parts and pieces, not the whole thing. Cubism is similar to that because you see it in parts and pieces, like fractured or broken glass.

  3. When and Who started Cubism? Cubism was started by Pablo Picasso (Spanish 1882-1973) and Georges Braque (French 1882-1963) in the early 1900s. Among the artists that practice this art (the artists are called cubists) is George Braque. Braque is from France and was greatly inspired by African sculpture, by painters Paul Cezanne (French, 1839-1906) and Georges Seurat (French, 1859-1891), and by the Fauves.

  4. Do you like this style of art? Why or Why not? I do like this style of art because of the many ways you can look at it. For example, look at this cubism painting by the artist. I saw it as a woman playing the guitar, but when I asked my sister what she thought, she looked at it as a woman TUNNING the guitar. There was a difference in our views, but another thing I like is the skill it might take to transform an object into something that looks like the picture painted on glass, shattered, and put together again. One of my favorite cubism paintings by George Braque

  5. Compare Cubism to Still Life This style of art is quite different than the other because the ones we looked at where simple. A boot, the night, and it all looked perfectly normal. It hadn’t been set to look like anything other than what it was. The same applies to the still life pieces we are currently doing. I drew a sharpener, and it wasn’t meant to be anything else, so it you look at it, its quite clear it’s a sharpener, there is no use arguing. But cubism is a completely different matter. Cubism is a style of art in which the artist has to have the skill to be able to transform the image in his head or the object in front of him into something of math and art. They have to make it so that you can look at it at different views, so that it looks similar to something painted onto glass, the glass was shattered and put together again. They also have to make sure it isn’t that weird looking, that you can JUST make out the outline or subject of their piece of art.
