Tapping the Subconscious: Surreal Space
ARTT 102 Introduction to 2D Design
Assignment Overview:
Surrealism is the name given to an art movement that began in Paris in the 1920’s. Artists who were influenced by the theories of Sigmund Freud became interested in how the unconscious mind could be used to stimulate artistic expression. In Surrealism, there was a belief that creativity was more powerful when it came from deep inside the subconscious, rather than through rational thought. A dreamlike imagery was oftentimes present in this work.
