7.I

Unit of Work on Surrealism!

During Term 3 while Year 7 students learnt remotely, they have explored the Surrealism movement from the 1920s. Inspired by the Surrealist artists Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Andre Breton, Paul Klee, and many more who expressed creative potential of the subconscious mind. Year 7 have investigated artworks which unlock the subconscious mind by representing landscape, images of natural scenery in a fantasy or dreamlike quality while incorporating subjects in unfamiliar places, sometimes featuring impossible creatures and impossible scenery.
