It outlines the key tasks which include researching cubism through analyzing artworks and creating cubist style pieces, conducting visual studies of fragmented objects through line drawings, photographs and experiments with media, selecting a development theme to create work related to, researching a chosen artist and replicating their style, developing initial ideas into a final piece, and organizing work in a sketchbook. The final piece can be a painting, digital artwork, or mixed media responding to the theme of fragments.
