Option #4    Pick another surrealist artist that is inspired by their art.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To make something surreal you can...

A: Change the normal scale of an object (Ex. a car the size of a living room)

B:  Turn the accepted order of things upside down (EX dogs walking people instead of people walking dogs

C: Mix internal and external space (Ex. trees growing in a kitchen, seeing the inside and outside of an object at the same time)

D. Transform one object into another (Ex. a car turning into a fish, and animal turning into a person, etc.)

 

Grading -    To get full credit your project should be:

1. Created neatly and without wrinkles, smudges, rips in paper, etc.  The paint is blending smoothly and the colors are chosen wisely.

2. You have painted in the style of surrealism and the images have a dream-like feel and quality.  You have also chosen an option #1-4.

Originality.  You have not copied exclusively (although you may copy certain parts from pictures, images, etc). You have come up with an original painting and di not use logos from brands or use any copyrighted material (no clothing brands, sports teams, cartoons, music labels or anything else that has a copyright).  Be original!  “Copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S. Code ) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.”

You used your studio time well and were on task.
