 * Introduction:** Abstract sculpture emerged early last century being inspired by cubist painting and other art forms. Without the foundation of cubist painting and its conceptualization of form, abstract sculpture would not have emerged as it did. Cubist painting and its impact on the development of abstract sculpture brought a new way of perceiving the world in an age of dramatic technological and social change.

B. Liam Cubism played a major role along with many other art forms in the creation of abstract sculptures in the early last century that has slowly developed into modern art. To justify the following claim that “Abstract sculpture owes its existence to cubist painting” specific artists and artworks will be referenced. Artists such as Pablo Picasso and Umberto Boccioni had major in influences on both cubism and modern art due to their cubist paintings. However, it was the whole cubist movement that greatly inspired many abstract artists. Liam, good but make some reference to the context that gave rise to medernism B. Daniel Cubism began in Paris, France during the period of 1907 to the 1920’s. It was one of the most influential arts of all time with it having an effect on poetry, architecture and sculpture. Cubists such as Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began to paint in ways that did not follow traditional art stlyes. Cubism was considered the first ‘abstract’ art style and involved the artist looking at things in new ways and rejecting traditional ways of portraying reality, atmosphere, light and perspective. The subject of the art whether it be people or landscapes were represented as combinations of basic geometrical shapes and often showed multiple points of view of an image on a 2 dimensional or 3 dimensional plane. Images were not shown as they would be seen in the real world but as we would see them in our ‘minds eye’or as fractured pieces. Daniel, keep the information generalised in your introduction and introduce more information on the context of the 20th century. C. Andrew Abstract sculpture was inspired by cubist paintings during the early 1900’s. Without this initial base abstract sculpture would have developed albeit a much slower pace. Abstract sculpture developed quite profusely during the 1900’s and Cubism whilst playing a massive part in the development of these sculptures was assisted by changes throughout the world and the art community. Cubism influences extended from the important figures such as Monet as his work and that of other cubist artists inspired sculptors to take on an abstract form honoring them and the development that they made to art. 20th century art had changed from the impressionist era before it. Cubism was a form of art that played on shapes and where all objects that appeared were shaped around cubes and triangles.

C. James Pablo Picasso and his co-inventor Georges Braque were responsible for the introduction os cubist painting, a style of art characterized where an image is broken down into rectangles and squares using similar colour tones and edged with black lines. Cubist style painting fragments, art forms that are 3 dimentional into flat patterns and shapes overlapping so that human forms are seen from different angles at the same time. Picasso suggested that by cutting up the art work on the black lines it could be assembled into a three dimentional shape. Thus results in th introduction of abstract sculpture thanks to cubism painting. James, keep the information in the introduction very generalised. Intorduce your reader to the general impact of cubism and the context of the 20th century. C. Jordan

D. Jake The art style of Cubism was created in the late 1900’s and was the first major form of abstract art. Like all art over time the artists tried to recreate the way persons of the era saw things through the contemporary styles. 20th century art was really the start of the modern era for art and all its styles including Cubist and Abstract sculpture. Jake, a good start but add a little on the 20th century to provide some context. F. Nick

H. Matt Abstract sculpture owes some, although not all of its existence to cubist painting. The works of Picasso and Braques in cubism gave some influence towards abstract sculpture; however other techniques such as surrealism and expressionism also have a strong responsibility in making abstract sculpture. Matt, don't introduce the negative side of the argument in the introduction. Focus on the context of the 20th century and how cubism reflected a new age. K. Joseph

N. John Abstract sculptures were created in the early 20th century as Cubism and other art forms played a major part in the creation of it. Specific artists of the time, and their artworks will be used to justify the claim; “Abstract sculpture owes its existence to cubist painting”. Pablo Picasso and Umberto Boccioni heavily influenced abstract art as they were leading cubist artists. These artists, and others, paved the way for abstract sculpture as they were part of the cubist movement. John, a good generalised introduction but you could provide more contextual information to show it was a new age and a new art form to reflect it. S. Tim Cubism is a style of art created in the early 20th century which influenced forms of abstract sculpture. Althought not the only strong influence that developed this style of art it played a major supporting role in its existance. Surrealism and expressionism where the two other main influences that helped to develop abstract sculpture. Tim, don't introduce the negative side of the argument. Leave this until the qualifier. Provide a sentence or two on the context of the new age of the 20th century. S. Daniel The 20th century art movement cubism played a key role in modern art. Cubism was a progression that was to move on from the impressionist painting style to a new approach that was related more to the way we see images in our 'minds-eye' rather than in real life. Cubism was a change from the traditional art to combinations of basic geometric shapes. Abstract sculpture owes its existence to cubist painting. This states that the main influence for abstract sculptures was cubism art. The major artists that influenced cubism are Pablo Picasso who was formally an impressionist, Paul Cezanne and Umberto Boccioni. Daniel, try to avoid listing the artists in the introduction and keep your information very generalised. Provide some context of the new age of the 20th century. S. Hamish Art never shapes history but reflects it. No were is this more apparent than in the radical 20th century art movement of Cubism. When Paul Cezanne experimented with the technique of “interpreting nature in terms of the cylinder, sphere and cone” he had lighted the spark of what would become one of the most significant changes in art since the Renaissance. The claim “abstract sculpture owes its existence to cubist painting” is justified in most cases but not all. In early 20th century Europe the industrial revolution had just passed, kick starting massive changes in social, technological and political world. This great change of perspective in the newborn mechanized world of hard iron and churning factories (where farmland used to sit) was mirrored in the art world. The rulebooks that had governed art since the Renaissance (even the ‘revolutionary’ movement of impressionism) where quite literally thrown out the window. Two of the most influential artists of the time, Umberto Boccioni and Alexander Archipenko took an avid part in abstract sculpture. It is obvious that they have both been strongly influenced by Cubist paintings. Hamish a great start! You have combined the two paragraphs here but that is fine. Don't introduce the negative part of the argument at this stage. Leave it until the qualifier T. Grant Art reflects history not having a way of shaping it. As it reflects on the 20th century

W. Alex Cubism was developed from a number of different influences. It was pioneered by three artists in particular, Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It began it's development in the early 1900's, the "first cubist painting" was "Les Demoiselles" by Pablo Picasso. Th is painting waws a major first step foward to the term known as "Cubist." Alex you need to introduce the context of the new age of the 20th century. Reflect on how cubism captured the spirit of the new age. Z. A. Nic

Z. G. Michael Abstract sculpture emerged early last century being inspired and based upon the cubist painting ideas as well as other art forms. Without the foundation of Cubist art and its uniqueness and variety of form, Abstract Sculpture would not have emerged as strongly or as early as it did. //Abstract sculpture owes its existence to cubist painting//. This claim means that without Cubism Painting, Abstract sculpture would fail to exist as a form of art. This is because that many of the techniques used by the Abstract Sculptures’ originally came from Cubism and its new revolutionary concepts and designs. The next paragraphs will prove that abstract sculpture would not exist if was not for Cubism. Michael, you have combined the two introductory paragraphs which is fine. Provide some context of the 20th century and how cubism captured or reflected the new age. Z. G. Tom

Z. H. Christian Abstract sculpture began around the early 1900s, but had been growing for many years. It has been said that this form of abstract art owes its existence to the Cubist era of painting, which was also abstract. There were many dominant figures, such as Picasso and Braque, who led the Cubism era. These men inspired those such as Boccioni, who was the leading figure in abstract sculpture. Both art forms are based not on the normal principles of art, and it can be shown through evidence that one, abstract art, was derived from the other, cubism. Christian introduce your reader to the context of the 20th century and how cubism reflected to spirit of the new age. Z. K. Harry

Z. P. Stephen Cubism had an integral impact in the development of the abstract sculpture movement, during 1907-1914. Cubism was one of the initial abstract art forms of the time. Many influential people in the world did not highly accepted Cubism, due to the fact that it was so far from the traditional art form that was highly respected during mid- late 1900’s. Cubism is renowned for its two- dimensional appearance and its utilization of geometric angles, lines and shapes as well as its use of neutral colours throughout the artwork. Three major artists of the cubist era were Pablo Picasso, Umberto Boccioni and Marcel Duchamp. Although dismissed by many significant people of the world, Cubism was still able to influence many forms of art which included Futurism and abstract art.  Stephen, you are engaged in a 'debate'. Don't focus on the negative about how people didn't accept it. Focus on the positive of how it was a 'ground-breaking' art movement. keep your information very generalised in the introduction. Introduce your reader to the context of the 20th century and how cubism reflected the spirit of the new age. Z. S. Aka
