Re-Assembling Reality

This method was invented by Max Ernst by pasting together fragments of given or found pictures. By using images that had similar 'look' he was able to create 'illusionistic' new pictures, that were bizarre, fantastic, dream-like, ironic, or grotesque.

The Purpose of the Game

This game is to challenge our creative side by giving us limited resources. In this game we gave out about 8 magazine cut-outs, the student got out a clean sheet of paper and glue the different images together to create or recreate an image of real life. The purpose of the game was to see how the students would use the cut outs magazines to create a scene, and by pictures posted, we could see how creative they were.

Automatic Drawing

Game Description:
In this surrealist game a person is to draw without thinking. A suggestion is to not lift the pencil from the paper and let your hand move randomly across the paper. The image created is thought to be the expression of the subconscious mind bringing out thoughts, behavoirs, and personalities which would otherwise be repressed.


In class demonstration:
The following is artwork developed by the many talented students in class. Although these drawing can have different representations to different people, we labled some of them according to what we thought we saw them reflect.
