Project #8 Cubism project
Project start date: Monday, November 27th
Project due date: Monday, December 4th
Representing the three dimensions of space (and one of time) within a two-dimensional image is challenging. The Renaissance created a standard that most artists shared for hundreds of years, a standard that was viewed as an improvement upon the many representations from the past. At the start of the 20th century, that standard was questioned. Is there a “best” way to represent the 3D world in a 2D image?
Thinking about 3 dimensional space and recording it on a 2 dimensional plane, choose a view of an architectural space and record it in a 360 degree viewpoint simultaneously.
References/Artists to Consider: Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Paul Cezanne, Juan Gris, Sonia Delaunay, Olive Ayhens, Alexander Calder
Materials: 18×24 brown paper, color pastel set
