Assignment

Now you are going to create your own cubist work!

You will need to take at least 25 photos and then print 5-8 to

arrange them in your own cubist photo collage.

Things to remember

• Take photos from multiple angles. • Get close to your subject! Don’t be afraid

to be close, you will need these close ups for your project.
