surrealist mindscapes

This year the 8th grade students are exploring the ideas of the Surrealist Movement. We are looking at many examples of the Mindscapes of contemporary artists whose work is surrealist or related in style and content to that of the surrealist artists. Students are then creating two of  their own mindscapes using both traditional mixed media materials for one piece an digital photography and the tools in Adobe  Photoshop  for the other.  

"LAYERS" have been our focus in both traditional and digital projects this year. Students were challenged to create dynamic layers using traditional materials as well as digital ones. Like the surrealist artists the 8th grade artists are challenged to create a unique and complex image that combines imagery and materials in a new way.
