*Cubism is taking an object and discovering the simple geometric shapes within the object and rearranging them into a composition,
Here is a project you can do to learn about Braques and cubism:
Musical instrument composition
Materials: pictures or actual musical instruments, colored paper, markers or paint
Technique: mixed media collage
Process: Take a photo of a musical instrument and print a copy. Outline the basic shapes within the instrument and cut the pieces out and trace them onto colored paper.. You could also draw a picture of a musical instrument and trace each part onto a different color of paper. Glue these pieces onto your paper. You do not want to put the instrument together as a puzzle, but rearrange the parts into a composition. Add other cut out geometric shapes or color in to fill the negative space. Add yarn for rhythm and texture.
Abstract Trumpet Art center: pictures of musical instruments and everyday objects, wooden geometric solids, paint chips, cereal box cardboard, craft wood shapes, books about Braques, examples of cubism, markers, string, yarn
