Progress and Finish of part 1 of Assesment

The first part of the Assesment was to make an Analytical Cubism Charcoal Drawing, of a guitar, with a few flowers and boxes.
We first sketched out our plan of what exactly to do.

And then we used the technique of carbon paper to copy our drawing onto a thicker, colored piece of paper, in my instance it was grey.
I then put some pieces of yellowish newspaper text on some negative spaces, and started shading and coloring using only a black and white scale.
This is how it turned out:

That's it, that's the update of my work so far. Now, i'll start working on the next part of the assesment:

the Synthetic Cubism Painting.

Definition of Syntetic Cubism from ABOUT.COM

Synthetic Cubism grew out of Analytic Cubism. It was developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque and then copied by the Salon Cubists. Picasso and Braque discovered that through the repetition of "analytic" signs their work became more generalized, more geometrically simplified and flatter. Overlapping planes sometimes shared one color (passage). Real pieces of paper replaced painted flat depictions of paper. Real scores of music replaced drawn musical notation. Fragments of newspaper, playing cards, cigarette packs, and advertisements that were either real or painted interacted on the flat plane of the canvas as the artists tried to achieve a total interpenetration of life and art.
