Surrealism is explored, starting from a favourite animal or creature and evolving into a fantastical creature from another imagined world. Students begin by observing and drawing animals such as elephants, whales dolphins, dinosaurs, cats or mice. We’ll look at Dali’s elongated and exaggerated legs, etc and then get started on their creature. These will be added to backgrounds of inks and dyes that show ‘other worlds’. Students can choose to add them as a collage or re draw them into the landscape. Suitable for ages 6 - 12 years
