Pablo German Expressionism In Pablo German Expressionism

We were challenged with a very artistically focused brief. We were first tasks to research a few of the most common and well know art movements and then create a composition, which linked back to the art movement of our choice, which had to be carefully researched and chosen. This led to us creating our scraperboards, which was seen as a ‘practice’ piece in order to move onto our end result, which was the linocut and final piece, the lino printing.

The history behind cubism was the other aspect that struck me as well as the famous cubist artist Pablo
