CUBISM - BRIEF HISTORY
Painting one object from many angles at the same time
3 KEY RULES:
Show the face/objects from multiple viewpoints
Make the surfaces intersect at random angles to create depth
Apply rendering so it appears flat with little in background

PROCESS:
1) rearranged face (both your face views)
2) rearranged face with left overs and 1 partner
3) colour copy with stylised version
Inspiration
Miguel Ángel Belinchón
While the features of each subject are lifelike and rendered in astounding detail, they are arranged in a fractured and frantic manner.
This unique juxtaposition between realism and cubism accentuates the emotional aspect of each piece, as emphasis is placed on the subjects' expressions!
