Fifth Grade Surrealist Hallways

Fifth graders looked at the technique of working in One-point perspective within their artwork.  We also discussed Surreal art and the different ways artists utilize surrealism in their artwork.  We focused on Salvidor Dali as the artist example, as well as some great others. 

For the project, we drew one-point perspective hallways and then we placed surreal things within our halls.  The objects were anything from animals that were not supposed to be in a school building to things breaking or every-day objects in places where they normally are not.  We colored them with colored pencils, oil pastels and some outlined with sharpie to make their lines stand out. 

This was an enjoyable project to let their creativity flow, so many different examples were created by these awesome artists! It was hard to not put them all up to show.
