In our “Making Art Inspired by Great Artists” CREST Enrichment class,
students are inspired by the Surealist Artist Salvador Dalí!
Students in grades TK- 5th learned about Surrealism, and how to use perspective, scale,
horizon lines and vanishing points to show space and distance!
They drew out their horizon lines, set their vanishing points, added their roads or other content…
then developed their compositions through drawing and collage techniques using images cut from repurposed magazines,
creating fantastical landscapes or cityscapes employing perspective, while exploring their own interests in the process.
Students blended techniques of representation and fantasy through use of scale, image, space and color,
to create imaginative and whimsical Surrealistic works which we hope will stand the test of time, and reinforce their learning.
