How many famous artists do you know?
Cubism is an art movement that shows people or objects from lots of angles at the same time. It often makes the artwork look broken up or like it is made from cubes.
Pablo Picasso and the artist George Braque invented Cubism as a new form of art.
Have a go at creating your own cubist artwork with an object from your home by drawing it from many angles or print and colour the cubist guitar below.
