Surrealism critique

Today's purpose: To analyze and critique a work of art, offer suggestions and comments to help the artist with future assignments.

Why? So, we can gain insights into meaning of these artworks by engaging in the process of art criticism. 

How? 

Get in groups of 5/6
Get out your sketchbook 
Pass the images around and select 2 images that resonate with you. 

Answer the following questions on a sheet of paper - for each artwork.
1. Why did you select this image?
2. Do you think this image is a good example of surrealism? How so? Why not?
3. How did the artist photograph the image?
4. Was the student successful using photoshop? How so? Why not?
5. What are some suggestions or praise you have for the artist?

IN GROUPS:
Share the work you selected. Make two piles, images that were successful and those less successful. Why are these the strongest? Photography? Editing? What can the photographer do to make the weaker images stronger?

Share out loud, defend or agree.
