Once again I can't work out how to rotate it but here is my attempted surrealim drawing. Our task for today's lesson was to pick two sentences at random and to combine them both into one drawing thus creating a surrealim drawing. I found this task to be quite a challenge as I hadn't done anything similar to it before. It was even harder to draw these sentences as they really didn't make much sense. The sentences were "darkness crushed and cooled by clouds" and "imbibe stinging joys with loving grace". The sentences were almost opposites which was hard.
I started off with trying to work out what I would associate with each word or phrase. The first phrase was "darkness crushed" which when I immediately saw it I thought of the sky and the moon being crushed. The 'symbol' I used for that phrase was the giant foot on top and crushing the crescent moon. When I saw "cooled by clouds" I thought of rain coming out of the cloud and onto the foot. The phrase "imbibe stinging joys" was symbolised by by wrapping barbed wire around the giant foot. "Loving grace" was represented by the red and purple, love heart shaped rain drops. The red symbolised love and the purple represented grace. I made the background of the drawing is toned from light up the top to dark down the bottom so that it showed the darkness being cooled by clouds as the rain drops hit the sky. I also created the clouds so that they were toned from light at the top to dark down the bottom. There were stars next to the moon to give more of a 'night' effect and to show more of the darkness.
I didn't really like or enjoy this task as I am not a confident drawer and I am not a very 'wordy' person. I am not a fan of drawing and I would prefer to paint or create a collage! Also I don't enjoy English (the subject) and I am not very creative in English. Although I didn't like this task, I do enjoy learning about and playing around with surrealism. I find the surrealist artists' creations quite amazing and I want to improve my surrealism drawings. Considering this is my first surrealism drawing though, it is not all that bad!
