What is cubism?

Cubism is a style of art portrayed by abstract shapes and twisted perspective.

What or who inspired the artist to work in this style?

Picasso's African Period was the period when he painted in a style which was influenced by African sculpture. This period was from 1907 to 1909. His mother also inspired him and Paul Cezanne.

My own idea of the artwork?

Out of all the drawings I have seen and learned about I realized that Picasso was one talented man with many different ideas. His style of artwork is unique, and creative. I would have loved to meet him!

How is this style of art different from the earlier realistic still life artworks?

This style of artwork is different from the earlier realistic still life because the earlier still life artworks were all detailed and they only showed the artwork rather than the expressions and feelings like cubism does.

How is this style of art different from the still life artworks that I have created?

Cubism is different because you break things into pieces and move them around until it looks like something the artist feels and can let people recognize this feeling through the sculpture or painting.

While still life is drawing a detailed painting of the object.

Hope you enjoyed the presentation!
