African art provided the foundational aesthetic principles for Cubism, a movement pioneered by artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism is an early-20th-century avant-garde art movement which began in Paris. Cubist subjects are analyzed, broken up, and reassembled in an abstract form. In this fun family workshop, participants will assemble, collage and color their cubist mask.
