LO: Using oil pastels, create a Dali inspired piece of artwork

In today's Art Club lesson we discussed the work of the great Salvador Dali.

Dali was a prominent surrealist painter born in Spain. He was a skilled artist and best known for his striking and bizarre images.

Children were each given a research sheet (below) containing many images of Dali's masterpieces for them to study and gain inspiration from.

                                     

Surrealism is an art movement that began in the 1920s that experimented ways of unleashing and portraying the imagination.

For the children to fully understand this genre of art I explained to them that it's all about putting things together that normally wouldn't be seen together!
