Dabbling in Cubism

Saturday April 16th Mixed-Media Art Workshop: 10:15 a.m. ‘til 11:45 a.m. – Picasso’s Cubist Period. During Pablo Picasso’s life of art, he transitioned through many different creative styles. At this particular workshop we’ll talk about abstract art and how Picasso was one of the pioneers of ‘Cubism’. In his cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form. Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. Materials we’ll be using: acrylics on illustration board.
