Grade 7- surealist paintings

Grade 7's created Surrealist paintings using watercolours. They created the images by cutting out and arranging objects from magazines onto a magazine background. They then used the grid system to enlarge the image onto A2 paper. The watercolour paint was built up in layers to give a very realistic feel. The compositions are really strange, some dont really make sense, like dreams. All the students were inspired by the Surrealist Artists Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte.
