Teacher Examples of Surrealist Lesson

Here are two examples of what I would use for my first lesson.
Inspired by the surrealist games, students would begin by playing the sentence game!
This is great for people all ages.
Begin with a group of 4 or more--each person has a pile of papers about 5 or 6 sheets high--the game begins by each player writing a random, descriptive sentence on the first sheet-- pass the pile to your left-- based off the sentence, draw a picture that illustrates what the first player wrote-- place sentence underneath pile-- create sentence based off picture.
And so on and so forth-- when everyone finishes with the last sheet of paper, go around the circle and share! You will get a good laugh from this exercise.

Here are some of the examples from when I played with my group.


(Sorry, you are going to have to tilt your head to read this one!)






After the groups play this warm up game they will have to collaborate to create a final piece. It can be a narrative piece or abstract involving some of the images drawn and words used.

Here are some of the examples I came up with from the warm up games.





What words would you add to this drawing?
