Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques

• The things that Picasso and I said to one
  another during those years will never be said
  again, and even if they were, no one would
  understand them anymore. It was like being roped
  together on a mountain.

Picasso and Braque met in 1907. They both lived
and worked in the same area of Paris. They were
close and competitive.

• Task 1
• Drawing before we can start our paintings, we
  need to plan properly by drawing
• We need to push ourselves to draw like Picasso
  and Braque
• This means trying new things!
• We will draw the same objects from different
  viewpoints
• We will stand up and move around an object, and
  look at it from above, and draw what we see
• We will overlap lines
• We will divide up objects into geometrical shapes
• We will enlarge some parts of objects and shrink
  others!
