"Psychic automatism in its pure state, by which one proposes to express — verbally, by means of the written word, or in any other manner — the actual functioning of thought."
Breton's Surrealist Manifesto, 1924
Students in Mr. Boccini's Studio Art Classes explored the ideas of Surrealism. They collected a random groups of magazine images, anything that caught their eye. One image became the basis for an "environment" in which to place other images. Some use of geometric perspective was required in each composition, but it could be distorted or manipulated. Part of the image used Stippling (a shading technique using dots.)
Collage, oil pastels, sharpie markers, watercolors, tempera paint and colored pencils were used in these mixed media images.
