running through the broken shapes.
-Occasional collage elements included
(newspaper, wallpaper, printed paper).

PICASSO'S LIFE
Themes of CUBISM-
multi-perspectives of one object, sharpe edges, split up images, scattered images,
collage, newspaper, lettering, value/colors blending in shattered sections.
1. Include 3 or more pieces of collage into your objects or background.
Picasso and Braque were the inventors of Collage as an artform.
2. You need 3 or more items in your picture.
Like Braque and Picasso, you can Include
traditional items like fruit, skulls, or musical instruments in your still life like.
You can also Include items that are personal to you as well. This could include athletic equipment, musical items, art supplies, tools, special stuffed animals...
3. "Shatter" the space with your pencil.
Break up objects and background into smaller (but managable) pieces.
4. Use value and/or color blending in all shattered areas.
Optional ideas:
. Items can be shown at various angles.
.You can make objects pointer instead of rounder.
.Use a limited color pallette.
. Add in low-key stencil lettering in background.
