Surreal Sculpture
Surrealism
Surrealism is a style in which fantastical visual imagery from the subconscious mind is used with no intention of making the work logically comprehensible.
Create a surreal sculpture out of clay using any building method or combination of building methods (coil, slab, sculpt, pinch, mold, wheel). Make your sculpture approximately 5-8 inches (this is flexible depending on your idea). Create a sculpture that demonstrates good craftsmanship and quality
Some ideas to brainstorm
Exquisite corpse activity
Juxtapose mixed media
Pun or play on words
Anthropomorphism- attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities
Exaggerate features
Create an object with a texture or features from a different object
Grading Criteria (25 points total)
5 points: original surreal idea
2 points: name and/or signature on bottom of piece
3 points: explaining and answering reflection questions when turning into google
5 points: truly 3 dimensional sculpture viewable from any angle
10 points: craftsmanship, quality, and effort (including paint and glaze)
