Art for Ages 7-11yrs

In this session we will be looking at the basics of Surrealism; specifically, what is it? Where does it come from? Who has done/does it? And how can we do it?   By looking at the beginnings of Surrealism and a few of its pioneers (Magritte, Dali, Frida Kahlo, Dora Maar), this session will encourage students to consider how and why Surrealism came about when it did, and how it continues to be relevant today. Combining practical and theoretical approaches, we will work as both artists and art historians, using our newly acquired knowledge about this movement to make our own work and have fun with the bizarre, strange and mysterious.
