Across
- 3. The outermost layer of a subject, often ignored in favor of focusing on the geometric and structural components in Cubist art.
- 4. An artist or style of art characterized by the use of geometric shapes, fragmented forms, and abstract representations of the subject.
- 7. A colour scheme using variations of a single color, often employed in early Cubist works, particularly in the "brown" or "earth tone" palette.
- 8. A depiction of a person, which in Cubism was often fragmented or shown from multiple viewpoints, differing from traditional portraiture.
- 10. Relating to shapes, forms, and figures based on mathematical principles, often used in Cubism to represent natural objects.
- 12. A flat, two-dimensional surface that is a fundamental concept in Cubist artwork, as objects were often represented through various planes of geometry.
- 13. The process of breaking objects into smaller, geometric shapes, showing a subject from multiple angles and perspectives simultaneously.
- 15. The underlying form or framework of an object or composition. In Cubism, emphasis is placed on the structural elements of the subject rather than surface detail.
Down
- 1. Breaking down or dismantling a subject to its fundamental parts, a technique used in Cubism to analyze and reinterpret objects.
- 2. A style of art that does not represent reality directly but uses shapes, colors, and forms to create compositions that are open to interpretation.
- 5. A technique where various materials, such as newspaper clippings or fabric, are glued onto a canvas to form a piece of art. This was widely used in Synthetic Cubism.
- 6. A significant change or upheaval in artistic style. Cubism represented it in how artists approached space, form, and perspective.
- 9. The technique of depicting three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, often used in traditional art but deconstructed in Cubism.
- 11. Referring to many viewpoints or perspectives depicted in a single work of art, a key principle in Cubism.
- 14. Refers to stages of Cubism, a phase where artists began using simpler shapes and added collage elements to their works, focusing on the combination of fragments.
