Across
  1. 3. The outermost layer of a subject, often ignored in favor of focusing on the geometric and structural components in Cubist art.
  2. 4. An artist or style of art characterized by the use of geometric shapes, fragmented forms, and abstract representations of the subject.
  3. 7. A colour scheme using variations of a single color, often employed in early Cubist works, particularly in the "brown" or "earth tone" palette.
  4. 8. A depiction of a person, which in Cubism was often fragmented or shown from multiple viewpoints, differing from traditional portraiture.
  5. 10. Relating to shapes, forms, and figures based on mathematical principles, often used in Cubism to represent natural objects.
  6. 12. A flat, two-dimensional surface that is a fundamental concept in Cubist artwork, as objects were often represented through various planes of geometry.
  7. 13. The process of breaking objects into smaller, geometric shapes, showing a subject from multiple angles and perspectives simultaneously.
  8. 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. 1. Breaking down or dismantling a subject to its fundamental parts, a technique used in Cubism to analyze and reinterpret objects.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 6. A significant change or upheaval in artistic style. Cubism represented it in how artists approached space, form, and perspective.
  5. 9. The technique of depicting three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface, often used in traditional art but deconstructed in Cubism.
  6. 11. Referring to many viewpoints or perspectives depicted in a single work of art, a key principle in Cubism.
  7. 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.
