Cubist Skirt

Size: 84 x 60cm
Materials used: Acrylic paint
I used the influence of abstraction and cubism in this piece of work. I did not break up the main picture into cubist segments, however I started off with making the shaded areas more sharp. I then broke the background up into bigger segments using cubism.

Initial Stage of Vubism

Size of pictures: 15 x 18 cm
Materials used: Watercolours
Picture 1) Picture taken of a skirt which is held in a position to show a different movement in it. Picture 2) I used Adobe Special Edition Photoshop to create the basic outline of the skirt. Picture 3) I then traced the outline and move onto picture 4 where I used both cool and warm colours. I broke up the different segments to show a very light cubist influence.

Baby Collage

Size: 46 x 45cm
Material used: Tissue paper, turpentine, charcoal, coloured pastels
This is a piece of art work from year 12 coursework. The piece was inspired by portraits of myself when i was a baby. I used photoshop to rotate the faces 4 times and then copied the outline of the pictures together on a bigger piece of paper. This is a very abstract piece of work which was mostly influenced by Mark Rothko.

Mixed Cubism

Size: 84 x 60 cm
Materials used: Acrylic paint, black and white charcoal/pastel, bumpy cardboard.
The acrylic paint is used for the main picture which is broken up into small segments influenced by the Carousal Cubism. The segments were divided up individually depending on the outline of the skirt. Once this was completed I used bumpy cardboard as the bacground to bring out the main picture itself. Then further divided the picture as a whole into more geometric/George Braque movements.

Coloured Cubism

Size:
Materials used: Coloured pastel on paper
Through my development of cubism during my Year 13 course, I started off with this piece of work and from this I got most of my inspiration to procceed further into the influence of cubism. The colours used together gave me an interest in the movement of the skirts shadows.

Cubism Braque Development Work

Size of each pictures: 13 x 18 cm
Picture 1) This was the first stage for the development. I took a picture of a skirt which I held up to form the movement. Picture 2) After this, I used a copied the outline of the picture onto a bigger piece of paper and started painting in the areas once I had broken them up into bigger segments. Picture 3) Once this was completed I added in the black detials using charcoal. This made the picture look more alive as well as bringing out the more cubist look with the sharp break lines. Picture 4) I then added in the background which was also broken up into segments using 3 different colours to make the picture raise more.
