Paint Like Pablo Picasso
June 10th & 17th
6pm
Composition: Cubism
ART CRUISE is a series of small‑format painting experiences that bring you inside art history. In each class you will paint a different avant‑garde artist. So‑called modern masters, such as Monet, Kahlo, and the Surrealists come to life by your own hand.
We continue the series with Pablo Picasso, the restless experimenter who helped fracture and rearrange the way we see painting. Often celebrated as a towering “modern master” and critiqued for his outsized ego and treatment of women, Picasso’s work nonetheless transformed painting through Cubism’s sharp angles, layered planes, and multiple viewpoints. This class takes a self-critical but affectionate look at his legacy and most inventive geometric compositions.
This cruise through the avant-garde embraces formal breakthroughs while questioning the myth of the solitary male genius. Cubism, a century later, becomes a toolkit for changing how we perceive everyday objects while breaking apart and rebuilding the canonical figure central to so many art historical compositions.
ART CRUISE sessions are guided in a studio atmosphere by a professional artist, for all skill levels. In this two‑session course over two consecutive weeks, each artist develops a Cubist, Picasso‑inspired portrait, experimenting with fragmentation, bold color, and shifting perspective.
