Salvador Dalí: A Master of the Modern Era. MIKOS ARTS – A Documentary for educational purposes only (Links to an external site.)

For this week’s discussion, we get to watch a fantastic video on Salvador Dali, famed Surrealist and eccentric! This video is a crowd pleaser and sure to keep you entertained! Before you view the link, make sure to preview the questions below- it may be helpful to take notes as you watch the video.

After you watch the video, tell us (in this numbered prompt):

1. Define Surrealism is your own words (avoid dictionary.com at all costs). How do the images you chose directly relate to the definition of surrealism?
2. How do YOU take in art in entertainment? In what forms? Media? TV, computer games? Reading? Magazines?
3. How does surrealism intersect with the art that you take in? In greater society (media)?
4. Is surrealism all around us? How so?
5. Provide 3 examples of surrealism in 2019. Use images from the world at large.
6. How do you think Dali influenced artists of the future, or was he just a crazy man with a rad mustache?

Things to Do:

• Think about what the word surreal means, how is this visually expressed through the images you chose?
• Have fun with this. Art can be silly or dream-like or irrational.
• Look around in your own life, your own stuff, is any of it surreal? For example, my daughter has a clothes hanger in her closet that is made in the shape of a human femur. It’s weird…she’s nine-years-old…I love it.

Things not to do:

• Do not choose the first image the comes up on a Google image search of “Surrealism” (I’ve seen them all before).
• Do not wait until the last minute.
• Do not share screen captures of Fortnite, it’s not surreal enough 🙂

Enjoy the Video!
