Surreal artwork

Fifth grade students studied Salvador Dali and the surrealists. Students discovered that surrealists were trying to shock and almost scare their viewers. Instead of making pretty art, the surrealists loved making strange artwork. They often used dislocation - placing objects where they shouldn't be, juxtaposition- two things, side by side, that don't normally go together,  transformation- turning something familiar into something unusual or strange and metamorphosis- when an object is changed into something else. Students created a surreal artwork and wrote how their artwork is surreal.
