Break it Up
Grade 10
How can breaking the rules lead to innovation, and a new perception of reality?
Cubists like Picasso and Braque believed that art should not reflect the natural world, and rejected traditional methods of creating dimension on a canvas.
Your task is to break the rules. Forget about space, perspective, and realism. Forget about pretty pictures. You are going to create your own Cubist self-portrait which plays with multiple perspectives, fragmentation, and flatness. You will create a dynamic composition by manipulating five selfies in Photoshop, and develop colour mixing skills to create your own individual colour palette in acrylic paint.
