1. Cubism
-Cubism is a Avant-Garde method of
creating art.
-In Cubist artworks, be that Painting
like Picaso or Photography with
David Hockney, objects/images are
broken up, analysed and re-
assembled in a slight abstract form.
-Instead of depicting objects from
one viewpoint/angle, the artist
depicts the subject from a multiple
viewpoints. This is often to represent
the subject in a greater and more
complex way.
-Often the surfaces intersect at
seemingly random angles and the
sense of depth is diluted

select sections and copy and paste
them.

to begin to follow the objectives of
cubism. Try discreetly enlarging
them, rotating them and discreetly
duplicating certain areas of interest to
