HOW TO MAKE A PICASSO SNOWMAN

WHAT IS CUBISM?

Cubism refers to art where the items in the artwork look like they are made out of cubes and other geometrical shapes. Analytical Cubism is the first type of cubism. Most analytical Cubists painted and drew in only one color so that the person who was looking at the painting did not pay attention to color, but only to the shapes they saw

After 1912 artists started using a new style called Synthetic Cubism. Painters mixed together different shapes. They also used more colors. Cubists during this period did not use just paint. They often pasted such objects as pieces of newspaper or cloth onto the canvas. This new style of art was called collage.
