Tap into your dreams with this class on Surrealist Collage. We will take a look at the greats like Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali and discuss what makes their work unmistakably surreal.
Then, we will create our own whimsical compositions using key elements of surrealism such as symbolism, atmosphere, humor, and surprise. You’ll leave this class with a little more knowledge of this 20th-century art movement and a unique piece of art!
