Cubist artists like Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque often layered paint, collaged components, and geometric patterns of linework to create compositions full of abstract shapes and rich surfaces. In this workshop, participants are invited to draw and collage—emulating Cubist techniques—and make their own renditions of works in the galleries of modern art.
About the Teaching Artist
Cameron Mankin makes drawings, prints, and artist’s books that investigate and retool found media. He breaks down security camera footage, cracked CDs, and old textbooks into their component parts and collages them together into exploded arrangements,cracking the surface of the increasingly streamlined media systems we interact with daily. Mankin teaches in the Media Arts and Design program at the University of Chicago.
