Surrealism Research and Presentation - Year One Tech
Digital Surrealism - Year One
Surrealism is an artistic movement that was founded in the early 1920s. It's influences include Sigmund Freud (famous psychoanalyst who was fascinated by the subconscious mind and dreams). "Surrealism style uses visual imagery from the subconscious mind to create art without the intention of logical comprehensibility." In other words, it doesn't make sense in the real world, only the surreal world. Surrealism includes an element of surprise and uses unlikely juxtapositions and blends dream and reality.
Please research Surrealism in Art and/or photography and create a prezi presentation that includes the following: (Please post your finished presentation on your blog by Tuesday December 6, 2016. Ready to present please!)
Presentations will begin on Tuesday and will probably carry on to Wednesday's class.
1. How do you define Surrealism? (In your own words please!)
2. Pick one Surrealist artist and:
Presentations will begin on Tuesday and will probably carry on to Wednesday's class.
1. How do you define Surrealism? (In your own words please!)
2. Pick one Surrealist artist and:
- Briefly discuss their view on surrealism (or their ideas and thoughts about the kind of art they create) or on their style of art (they may not define themselves as surrealist artsists)
- The years they produced art (or birth-death)
- How they got started - creative journey (school, apprenticeship, studying under other artists etc.)
- What their interests were/are as artists--subjects they addressed, issues they focused on
- Were they part of other artistic movements? If so, which ones?
3. Show 8 examples of Surrealist art by the artist you have selected. Choose ONE to analyze based on elements and principles of design, composition, what you like about it, how it's a good example of surrealism (if it is).
4. Please include any and ALL links that you have used to find your information. Please do not copy and paste directly from these links!! That's called plagiarism and it's a big fat NO-NO!
5. You must include a reference list at the end of your presentation, AND embed a minimum of 3 links (they could be videos, audio interviews or just other websites with more information) into your prezi presentation.
6. Make the presentation surreal to some degree in terms of design, but make sure we can clearly see and identify the artist's works, as well as the text that answers the questions above.
Legibility and readability are, as always, very important.
Please pick one artist each so that we can cover all of them. Or, you might find one on your own.

ULU - NAC10
An ulu (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐅᓗ, plural: uluit, English: "woman's knife"[1]) is an all-purpose knife traditionally used by Inuit, Yup'ik and Aleut women. It is utilized in applications as diverse as skinning and cleaning animals, cutting a child's hair, cutting food and, if necessary, trimming blocks of snow and ice used to build an igloo.
Read this article about Kate Middleton wearing earrings inspired by the Ulu.
Consider issues surrounding cultural and colonial appropriation, the role of the Royal Family in relationship to Canadian and indigenous sovereignty, and the influence of fashion and fame.
There is a lot to think about!
