This week the 6th grade students have been working on their surrealistic drawings. Students tried the technique of rubbings,collage,photomontage and realistic shading for this unit. Each student employed textures through rubbings and used a horizon line to delineate space in their work to give the illusion of linear perspective.
Students have also learned about the modern artists named M.C.Escher and
Rene Magritte who used many surrealistic techniques in their work.
In addition, the 6th grade artists have been reviewing connections between the relationship of surrealism to computer art and computer animation.
