Art, Cubed³
Movements | Contemporary Explorations in Cubism
Life on planes.
OVERVIEW
Painterly’s two-hour beginner’s workshop will introduce the revolutionary visual language of Cubism, focusing entirely on fracturing the traditional rules of perspective.
We will explore how pioneering Cubist artists rejected the idea that art should copy nature, choosing instead to break subjects down into geometric forms and display multiple viewpoints simultaneously. Students will learn to deconstruct objects, analyzing their shapes and flattening them into interlocking planes and dynamic angles on the canvas. The result will be a fascinating, conceptually bold, and completely unique piece of Cubist art.
Painterly Original works will be provided to fuel the creative process and stoke the imagination. No experience or artistic skill required!
PRICING
All classes are $120 per canvas with a ten (10) student class minimum.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to counteract the age of disposable experiences by teaching genuine creative skills. Painterly’s framework promotes the creation of keepsake artwork that carries lasting personal value, rather than becoming clutter. In a world where art is often mass-produced or prohibitively expensive, we offer an affordable and intentional pathway for our students to create their own meaningful, display-worthy creations rooted in solid artistic foundations.

Cubism is an early 20th-century art movement pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism broke away from traditional perspective and representation, instead depicting subjects from multiple angles at once using geometric shapes and fragmented forms. The goal was to show the essence of objects beyond how they appear from a single viewpoint.
Cubism evolved in two phases: Analytical Cubism, which focused on deconstructing objects, and Synthetic Cubism, which introduced simpler shapes, brighter colors, and collage elements.
-
Lots of places, but especially in museums and auction houses. Some well-known Cubists include Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.

CANCELLATION POLICY | To create an exceptional experience for your group, we begin preparing for your event the moment it’s booked.
