Make Cubism Art

Make Cubism Art


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. Teach your kids about this groundbreaking art movement with these few steps. The basic principles are easy to master, and everyone can make cubist art.
