Dancing with Dali: Perspective, Scale and Surrealism!

November 9, 2022 By Debra Disman

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, the developed their compositions into surrealistic scenes!

The Dia De Los Muertos OFRENDA provided an inspirational backdrop to their creative endeavors!

Space and Surrealism through Salvador Dali

May 30, 2022 By Debra Disman

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.

There’s nothing like learning through FUN!

Inspired by SALVADOR DALI!

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,

and developed their compositions through drawing and collage techniques using images cut from repurposed magazines.

They created fantastical landscapes in which perspective can be clearly seen.

Despite having to wear face masks throughout, students inspired themselves and each other.

Students blended techniques of representation and fantasy through use of scale, image, space and color

to create fantastical, imaginative and whimsical Surrealistic works which hopefully, will stand the test of time, and reinforce their learning.

Bravo!
