Explore the rich and imaginative world of surrealist art through generative drawing and painting strategies. Inspired by famous surrealists and their contemporaries, this course bridges the gap between imagination and finished work by introducing a new technique each class. Through methods like automatic drawing, dream transcription, and collaging, you will push your approach to composition, color, and form. Beginning with world-building and brainstorming, the course leads into several experimental collages and drawings before culminating in a self-directed final project in the medium of your choice. This course is ideal for artists with a solid foundation in drawing or painting who want to move beyond observation and create inventive, narrative-driven works.

Students are responsible for providing their own art supplies.
