Students explore a contemporary approach to creating a portrait
Inspired by cubist styles of the artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, young artists experimented with color, line, shape and artistic medium.
In regard to the creative process, each art piece started with students tracing one another's head and torso silhouette on a large white piece of paper. They then experimented with tracing geometric shapes with tin and plastic container forms with oil pastels. Students took the artwork further with watercolor and acrylic paint. With this multi media they composed a unique composition of facial features and figure.

About Cubism:
Cubism is an art movement that started in the early 20th century. The founders of the movement were Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism is full of geometric angles and shapes, and the picture itself it flattened almost to the point of two-dimensionality. The piece will usually have a tangible sense of movement. The artwork is not meant to be realistic; it displays multiple shots of movement or viewpoints in one painting.
