Lesson Introduction: Who is Salvador Dali?

🎨 A Surreal Adventure Awaits!

Warm-Up Activity: Imagine and Create!

As we start our lesson today about the intriguing artist Salvador Dali, let’s kick things off with a fun imagination exercise!

✏️ Instructions:

1. Close your eyes for a moment and picture a world where clocks melt like ice cream under the sun. What would that look like? Can you see any unusual creatures or objects that seem out of place?

2. Grab a piece of paper and some coloured pencils or crayons. In five minutes, draw or sketch your own surreal scene! Think about elements that don’t quite fit together. Maybe you have flying fish, trees made of candy, or a sky filled with strange shapes.

3. When you’re finished, pair up with a classmate and share your artwork. Explain what inspired you and what the scene represents.

Discussion:

After sharing, let’s come back together as a class.

• Questions to Consider:
  • What was the strangest thing you saw in your friend’s artwork?
  • How did you feel while you were drawing your surreal scene?

Now, Are You Ready?

With those creative ideas buzzing in our minds, we are ready to embark on an exciting journey to explore the life and works of one of the most famous surrealists, Salvador Dali!

Let’s dive in and find out how Dali’s imagination transformed the art world and how he made the bizarre beautiful. 🎉
