Pablo Picasso
  • Pablo Picasso was born in 1881 in a small town in
    southern Spain
  • His father was a painter who taught art
  • Picasso was amazing at an early age he attended
    the Royal Academy of Madrid starting at 16
  • Picassos teachers made him draw from plaster
    casts, which he thought was a ridiculous way to
    learn, so he began to work on his own
  • His father disliked his rebellious behavior, long
    hair and strange clothes he believed that
    Picasso was wasting his talent, asking him, Why
    dont you cut your hair and paint sensibly?

Picasso continued
  • In 1900, Picasso went to Paris the center of
    the art world.
  • In Paris, he lived in an old building and
    constantly reflected on his dismal surroundings,
    which is often depicted in his early, realistic
    work.
  • Pablo Picasso was creating his artwork during the
    early to mid 1900s
  • Picasso didnt sell a lot of his work in his
    early years, but he is now one of the worlds
    most famous artists
  • His career lasted more than 70 years
  • Picasso lived to be 92 years old

Picassos influence on Cubism
  • No artist has affected modern art more!
  • Picasso has completed thousands of masterpieces
    he went through a lot of different movements.
    Even though a lot of people think all of his work
    is weird, its not true!

Picassos epiphany
  • After Picasso had experienced the work of African
    artists specifically masks and sculptures his
    work became more simplified and angular. This
    was the start of the Cubism movement.
  • Picasso had a vision regarding what he wanted to
    represent through art with his new ideas. His
    goals included the following

12
The goals of Cubism include
  • Getting as close to reality as possible by
    representing a real, natural object on a flat
    canvas by showing every side of the object.
  • Taking each point of view and emphasizing the
    geometric shapes by spreading all of these points
    out on a canvas.
  • Unfolding an image.
  • EXAMPLE Three Musicians, 1921
  • As Cubism developed, Picasso began to combine
    several points of view of an object and to
    overlap them this led to some images becoming
    almost unrecognizable.

Some things we need to know
  • Line
  • Positive Space
  • Negative Space
  • Value

14
Line
  • Contour Line A line that defines the boundaries
    of a form.www.artsmia.org/art_in_america/glossary
    .html
  • Practice
  • Remember use the RIGHT SIDE of your brain! Get
    out of your LEFT SIDE and just experience the
    process.

15
Positive Space Negative Space
  • What is the Positive Space in this image?
  • What is the Negative Space in this image?

16
Value
  • The degree of light to dark

Different degrees of values can add interest to
an image by creating the idea of depth, texture
and more.
