Cubism is a style of art created in the 1920’s buy two famous painters Pablo Picasso and George Braque. They both used a lot of cubism in their paintings. Cubism is a type of art that shows movement through time. That means that instead of painting someone stiff, the artist would paint them to were they looked like they were moving.

Another thing you do in cubism is you brake down the object (person or thing) into geometric shapes. That way instead of showing one face, the artist could use small shapes to show more than one.

When the cubist artists were getting ready to do cubism, the first thing they did was they drew a sketch and drew the shapes on another piece of paper. Then, they would do the changes on the final sheet of paper. The last thing you do in cubism would be the shapes, shade in the picture, and then the picture would be complete.

This cubism painting "Bather With Beach Ball" shows a women that is running with a beach ball. The beach ball is so small that it looks like just a plain old circle. If you notice, the background looks like a real life scene!
