Prompt (ArtMaking Problem): Create a surrealist drawing that explores change in scale using oil pastels.

Connecting the prompt to Making Meaning textbook:

Big Idea (chapter01): The big Idea for this prompt is to express surrealism through a change in scale so I am expressing that by juxtaposing human size being the same hight as ant and use cropping as an element to explore scale and sense of depth.

Personal Connections (chapter 02): I tried to connect surrealism to my personal experience of feeling small and confused in the vast chaotic world, a place where anything is possible and there is a constant sense of anxiety.

Strong Knowledge Base (chapter03): To explore the prompt in depth one has to have knowledge of surrealism elements, oil pastels as a media, have personal experiences that inform the art making process and expression, and know how to showcase change in scale through juxtaposition, a surrealist art element often learned by tapping into dreams and looking at surrealist artists' works.
