At the Drawing Dreams Workshop our young artists were challenged to release their creative potential of the unconscious mind by the observational drawing and the irrational juxtaposition of images/cut outs, creating strange looking scenes and creatures, representing contradictory conditions of dream and reality.

​

Young artists began to learn the aspects of Surrealism - a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature (1924-1966). The Surrealist artists sought to channel the unconscious as a means to unlock the power of the imagination, they believed that the rational mind repressed the power of the imagination, weighting it down with taboos.

​

There will be learning in depth of this Art movement throughout the educational year.
