Picasso & the art of Cubism with Brendan McGorry
Using Picasso’s Cubist period as a starting point, students will quickly learn to visually deconstruct a still life through an approach that encourages an extended understanding of the classical cubist sensibility.
Observational drawings that have been guided through this process of re-construction will be used as a basis to create a mature cubist painting, exhibiting a working knowledge of the balance between 2 and 3 dimensions and the interplay between representation and abstraction.
The course is suited to students of all levels of experience.
Students will take home a mature completed work.
