Today, we will embark on an exciting journey into the imaginative and bizarre world of Salvador Dalí, a famous surrealist artist. Through this lesson, we will explore his unique style, famous artworks, and his impact on both art and popular culture.

Now, I want you to grab a piece of paper and some coloured pencils. Spend 5 minutes drawing a scene from your dream. It can be anything you imagined—don’t worry about it being realistic!
Once you’ve finished your drawing, we’ll gather in small groups to share what we’ve created. Explain what’s happening in your scene, why you chose those elements, and how it made you feel.

As we learn more about Dalí today, think about how your own dreams and imagination compare to his extraordinary artworks. Let’s unravel the wonders of Salvador Dalí together!
In the lesson ahead, we will:
