Background: The Surrealist Artists invented an drawing/creativity game where one person starts a drawing then passes it to the next person to add on without knowing what the first drawing was. T…

The first video shows the easiest quick method for drawing a room in one point perspective using only a ruler and a square piece of paper: The trick to accurately drawing a room in one point perspective is making sure that the back wall is in correct proportion to the size of the paper. If you try to draw a room and just draw a floor and walls without taking proportion into account you will find that the ceiling does not match up at all. Here is what will happen: Follow the directions in the video 'Draw a room in one point perspective' to create a realistic room with furniture. Use the worksheets below as a guide. From the now defunct website 'Dawn's Brain' I downloaded the worksheets above from here From Perspective Drawing by Ernest Norling Here is a worksheet I created for my students to show them how to add people to their rooms: Once you have demonstrated that you are able to accurately draw a realistic room in one point perspective,try designing your own surrealistic room. Before you begin, take a look at the famous pieces of art below to get an idea of how other artists have used one point perspective throughout history to create alternate realities: The Renaissance The first one point perspective paintings were created during the Renaissance. Art in those days often had a religious or moral theme: The Holy Trinity by Masaccio Death and the Miser by Hieronymus Bosch The Supernatural Next, let's look at the work of the painter Henry Fuseli (1741–1825) . Fuseli liked to paint supernatural or mythical creatures. The Nightmare by Henry Fuseli The woman in the painting is having a bad dream . The demon or incubus has ridden into her bedroom on his horse (the 'night mare') to haunt her sleep. Children's Book Illustrations Next let's look at children's book illustrations to see how these artists draw the viewer into fantastic stories of make believe. Alice Climbing Through The Looking Glass by Mervyn Peake James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. Illustration by Nancy Ekholm Burkert 'That very night in Max's room a forest grew" From Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak Surrealist Art Movement The Surrealist art movement began in the 1920's and remains popular to this day. Salvador Dali often called his paintings 'Illustrations of dreams'. Unlike the religious and moral art of the Renaissance, the supernatural paintings of Henry Fuseli and the children's book illustrations above, surrealistic pictures do not tell a single,narrative story. Instead, surrealistic pictures are often mysterious, confusing and open to interpretation, just like dreams. By using one point perspective and creating a realistic sense of space, these artists draw the viewer in to their imaginary worlds. To learn more about Surrealism, click here. Another World by MC Escher Forbidden literature (The use of the Word) by René Magritte Fortune telling by René Magritte Human Condition by René Magritte Not to be reproduced by René Magritte Personal Values by René Magritte Picture Gallery by MC Escher Relativity by MC Escher Reptiles by MC Escher Return of Ulysses by De Chirico The Listening Room by René Magritte The Month of the Grape Harvest by René Magritte The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali The Sheep by Salvador Dali Time Transfixed by René Magritte Suburbs of a Paranoiac Critical Town, Afternoon on the Outskirts of European History by Salvador Dali Installation Art Installation art describes an artistic genre of three- dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform the perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces. Installation art, first popularized in the 1960's and 1970's is still employed by many artists today. An instillation artist will transform a room or space using sculpture, manikins, actors, animals,furniture, paint, fabric, video projections, electronics, lighting, atmospheric effects and many other techniques. Some installations are meant to be walked through by the viewers, others are supposed to be viewed from the outside and others are set up just so the artist can photograph them. The idea is to create a life sized three dimensional alternate reality, like a movie or stage set, that the audience can actually experience. Fox Games by Sandy Skoglund Revenge of the Goldfish by Sandy Skoglund 'The Elephant in the Corner of the Room that Nobody Wants to Talk About' by Banksy Photography With photography, artists can create art so convincing that it is hard to determine if the scene depicted ever actually happened. Atomicus by Salvador Dali The Monster Under The Bed by Joshua Hoffine What are some ways that all these artists have used perspective and realistic space to create imaginary rooms, alternate realities and surrealistic worlds? How can you use the same methods to create your own original artwork? Before you begin to draw, look at the pictures above and see if you can figure out all of the ways that these artists used to 'Illustrate' their dreams. How will you illustrate your own dream-like imaginary worlds? Your assignment is to create a surrealistic room in one point perspective.

Картины бельгийского художника Рене Магритта меня слегка пугают, с одной стороны, но завораживают с другой, как страшная сказка, рассказанная в детстве. И вот в феврале у нас открывается его выставка, а значит, самое время посмотреть на его творчество поближе и обсудить цветовые палитры.…
Tomohiro Inaba is a young artist who finished his graduate studies in 2010. He is attracted to iron as a material among other reasons because it begins to rust and decay upon contact with air, practically the moment it is created. For some his two-dimensional work he has used heat-sensitive paper, a likewise ephemeral material. Inaba often incorporates everyday objects into his work. His Straight Grass series consisted of household refuse exhibited in bespoke frames. Though made from solid iron wire, many of his sculptures appear freely woven. Their foundation is an anatomically correct solid form but it shoots off in incredibly complex tangles of steel wire that manifest themselves like violent pencil scribbles. His work has been exhibited in Japan.
Suggestivi e inquietanti, i dipinti di István Sándorfi sono commistione di tecnica fotografica e surrealismo, opere oniriche, oscure, istanti sospesi nel tempo con fluttuanti ed enigmatici protagonisti

Max Ernst (1891 – 1976) was a German born artist and sculptor. He was down with two of my favorite art movements of all time – Dada and Surrealist. His paintings give me the feeling I just dropped two hits of white blotter acid and the universe is just the beginning of a vast unknown […]

These collages are serious business. Unlike our other works of art where you brain storm for ideas first, this work has the artists being image fed, then creating the work. The Artists had to look through magazines to find images that were very normal and everyday. They could not use anything illustrated, strange, scale-changed or juxtaposed. Then after collecting the images and a background the artists rearranged the images to be very surrealistic. The main goal was to have everyday images re-arranged in a very dreamlike fashion. There was also to be interaction of the subjects on the artworks. The students had to cut very close to the image to create a seamless image. A lot of work indeed. This work was created after much study of the Dada and Surrealist art movements.
