Art Can Be a Dream...

Next week the co-op art classes will begin working on their dream art work. What I mean is Surreal Art. Surreal Art is a style of art that began in the early 1920's in which the artist expresses himself in a dream like fantasy art work. Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte are two well known surreal artists.

This is the painting, The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali.



The following is a painting by Rene Magritte titled The Son of Man.


Its amazing what my students were able to create with some magazines, glue, scissors, and paper. Here is a surreal collage by one of my middle school students.
