11. Your Task:
• Produce two line drawings from the groups of
objects.
• These will be dis-assembled and then re-
assembled to create an abstracted
composition in the style of cubism.
• This will form the basis of a final composition
in colour using any media of your own
choosing.

17. CUBISM
• Cubism creates box or cubed style drawings
from objects which are not naturally cuboid.
• In Cubist artwork, objects are analysed,
broken up and reassembled in an abstracted
form—instead of depicting objects from one
viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from
a multitude of viewpoints to represent the
subject in a greater context.’ wikipedia
