Depicting Dreams
Use what you've learned about Surrealism to create a mixed media composition
Studio Project Prompt:
Parameters:
- Begin by using descriptive words to write about your dream.
- Make a series of sketches illustrating what you’ve written. Allow your ideas to evolve—your sketches don’t have to resemble your dream exactly.
- Experiment with scale, space, contrast, and juxtaposition.
- Introduce mixed media.
- Get weird! Dreams frequently don’t make sense—use this
as an opportunity to take creative risks.
