Surreal
Hands
After a
"skills assessment" drawing of their hands as
realistically as possible--Students were asked to draw a
"fantasy hand" with each finger taking on a character
all its own. They were encouraged to have an over-all theme for
their "Surreal" hand. We began by discussing Dali's work
as well as Magritte's style of painting. These artists painted in
what we call the Surrealist style...dream-like visions where
things are not what they seem...or items are put together in a
totally different relationship than what we know to be real ( a
surreal world). Examples of work by Magriite and Dali were shown.
Students explored this art style via the WWW- Surreal
Lesson They also looked at examples of various other artists'
work focusing on the hand- Drawing Hands.
This lesson idea courtesy of Mrs.
Bunki Kramer, Lo Cerros Middle School. See
