Arguably the paramount artistic school of the twentieth century; Cubism encompasses the breadth of the visual arts, music, literature, poetry, and architecture. One of the precursors to Abstractism, subjects are analysed, fragmented, and reassembled abstractedly: Instead of depiction from a single perspective, they are delineated via multiple viewpoints in holistic representation. All are encouraged to share and discuss all forms of these arts—including, and especially, their own.

Cubism is a twentieth-century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by, among others, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque; that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, inspiring related movements in music, literature, and architecture. In Cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analysed, and reassembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context. Often, the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of Cubism's distinct characteristics.

Concept I am working in

Hi I am new to art and am working on this concept. I like drawing random shapes and trying to make a story out of them. This one will be titled the bird and snake. I am probably going to spend some time revising this while I learn more. Any tips or advice?

The Lighthouse in the Storm

In the deep blue of the dark sky, the fury of the winds gives its voice, a hand is raised with fierce zeal, shining in the terrible storm.

The waves roar full of sleeplessness, the storm flares up without mercy, but the light remains clear, shining firmly in the midst of the commotion.

Lantern that guides in the dark night, hope in the shadow, faithful flash, you illuminate the seas with sweetness.

In the midst of chaos, always so beautiful, your light, eternal beacon, never goes out, In the storm you are peace that intoxicates.
