Your task in this project is to apply the visual representation of a surrealist ideals in an artwork. It cannot just be a mish-mash of haphazard elements. You must show an understanding of surrealism elements: symbolism, the bizarre, juxtaposition, metaphor.
You will start your "IF" painting by creating a sketches of ideas using found mages and translate this into a painting using your chosen style.
When creating your design use reference photos that you have sourced or taken yourself, refer to Sarah Perrys use of juxtaposition, repetition, size and contrast.
When deciding on your painting you can use apps to create colour studies and you need to show skills learnt from the previous painting and drawing units [value, colour mixing, space and perspective]
