Advanced Paint X Draw Research

Now that we have reviewed some of the more well known artists of Surrealism in class I would like you to further your knowledge of this subculture of painting by researching a lesser know surrealist artist of your choice.  If you are unable to find a lesser known artist or would simply like to further investigate one of the more well known artist you may select from the list below:

-Max Ernst
-Andre Masson
-Joan Miro
-Salvador Dali
-Rene Magritte
- Oscar Dominguez
- Paul Delvaux
-Marc Chagall
-Jorge Camacho
-Hans Bellmer
-Frances Martinez De Picabia

*Of course you may choose your own artist but please make sure they are considered a surrealist artist.

  Please include in written format (typed, double spaced)
-Where and when the artist lived
-Their artistic training
-How did their work "fit into" the surrealist movement (what made them a surrealist?)
-Select a minimum of three printed images and identify the ways in which the elements are manipulated to achieve a "dreamlike" or "surrealist" feel.  Analyze and interpret the three selected images ( What do you think the piece is about?)
- Print and include the three images you analyzed.

  1. Hi Mr. McQuillin,

    My daughter told me that you will be teaching an art class for middle school students. My son would be very interested in attending. Please let me know if I can sign him up.
    Thank you! Gwen Fredette
