2.  Cubism is a style of art that was created in the early twentieth century between 1907 and 1914.  It was created during that time, primarily by Pablo Picasso and George Braque in Paris.  Cubism is highly abstracted works that often contains geometric forms.

3.  Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest cubist artists of all time. After all, he did help to create the style.  Picasso was from from Spain, he was a painter, sculptor and graphic artist.  The Weeping Woman was created in 1937. This piece explores the various features of pain the human face can show.

5.  From the time when he was a kid, Picasso was a skilled realist artist. He was looking for a new perspective on art that would be different from the usual realist style.  This style of art is definitely unique. When Picasso mixes up the face there were many possibilities, but he specifically chose that way to show the face.  Even though it is like that it is still easy to see it’s a face. Everywhere you look there is something new to make out.  I like the style of Cubism. This type uses many colours and makes you think!

6.  Realistic artworks are mainly about drawing things exactly as they seem. The still life artworks that I’ve created, I was really trying to make it look realistic and 3-D.  Cubism isn’t about copying down what you see. Cubism is more about using several viewpoints and meshing them together.  Cubism is also more relaxed. Things like shading and proportion aren’t as important.
