ZIon Art Learning Story

Zion’s Art Learning Story I love art!

How do I communicate important information and ideas about my identity using a surrealist style?

Surrealism is an art style that explores the world of dreams and what’s in our imagination. Surrealist art often shows familiar things in unexpected ways. 

We were learning about surrealist art by looking at some surrealist art and then we tried to copy them

Success Criteria

Combine several pictures to make one

Combined real things with unrealistic things to tell a story about the person.

Put something about the person inside or near their portrait

Use unusual colours for the facial features

Create an optical illusion. It looks real but its not

Mix up things and blended them eg the features

Make things  look like something they are not

Include lots of detail

Make look realistic

Make part of a person a thing that represents something important

Make the art is like a dream.

I am good at making parts of things that represent something important about me because I need to show something about my identity

I was good at putting things inside my face which represented me like when I put the patterns on my hay

I got better at making my art looks like something that it’s not because I even thought that it didn't look like the thing I imagined

It was hard for me to make it look realistic  because it's not very good at art

My next steps are to make sure my art was as if it was a dream because people can imagine another picture of that

Tevin’s feedback

Zion was good at making things look realistic  because of the eyes sort of look like his when he sees the reflection of the light

He needs to work on combining real things with unrealistic things to tell a story about him  because I don't know how to describe his identity
