CUBISM!

• Objects are broken up, and then put back together in a different form, in a way to view one object from several different points of view, rather than one•Surfaces, sometimes, can intersect at seemingly random angles, removing - the usual - sense of depth •Can be created with pencil, paints, clay, and other types of media. •Colors used, aren’t “normal”
