Cubism
Picasso co-founded the Cubist movement. Cubism was a new way of painting in
which artists would paint a person or object from different angles using
geometric shapes. The artists create a picture of something by breaking it up
into different blocks. Picasso, and other artists, later began to add other
material, leading to the invention of collage.

Collage Art, Creative Learning Task 2
Look at the art work produced by children below.
Your task is to create a face with different geometric shapes. You should aim to
use different mediums (newspaper and magazines cuttings, paint, old fabric
maybe). Remember the effect should be an unusual looking face using the
collage effect, overlapping different shapes and mediums.
These creations are inspired by Picasso. You can see the children have enjoyed
using bright colours, have torn up and cut out different shapes, they have used
parts of faces from old magazines. As well as this, some have chosen to add paint
to their designs.
