Surreal Snowmen Collages

5th grade artists learned about the work of Salvador Dali and other surrealistic artists. They learned that surrealism is a type of art that represents many different things. It can be work that looks real, but could never really happen. It is odd, and juxtaposes very different items into one picture to create meaning. Being inspired by our wintery weather, we created our own surrealistic snowmen collages!

1st Grade Dali Birds

1st graders learned about the unique artwork of Salvador Dali and how he created art from his dreams! They learned that his art was called surrealistic because it was realistic looking but could never really happen in real life. Our artists created these dream-like birds with super long legs while practicing their skills with blending. They chose warm or cool colored backgrounds and put patterns into the birds!
