Cubism

Viewing the model from the side abstracts the painting even more

To start off architecture studio this semester we were asked to look into cubism and try to understand the way the artist, in my case Juan Gris, saw the subject.  I chose to study The Violin and the Glass by trying to turn a 2-Dimensional painting into a 3-Dimensional model.  There are a few pictures from my first attempt at a model but there is still many things I need to look into now after critiquing with my studio professor, such as basing the forms of the model on the painting's subject shapes or the spaces.  Also, looking into the color significance or light versus dark to determine what is closer to the observer.
