What does cubism add to the subject? What can you see that you may not have seen?
What’s going on? • What do you see that makes me say that? • Composition, Mood, etc.? • What does the Cubist painting reveal that may not be seen in the traditional painting? Vice versa? • Which do you prefer? Why? Questions to Consider
Find two to three similar images in a magazine. • Decide what you want to show/reveal about your subject (which perspectives?) • Cut the images into squares and arrange them on your paper in a way that says what you want to say. • Title your masterpiece and write your names on the back.
