Robert Rauschenberg
Advanced Drawing and Painting
Rauschenberg, a relevant Pop-Artist and Abstract Expressionist, gave us some very unique works of art. As you develop your Activist Art piece it would be beneficial to take a closer look at his work. In your sketchbook write about your reaction to one of the pieces below. What do you think Rauschenberg is trying to say? Does his work appeal to your aesthetic? Look carefully at the materials he uses to create his art. Describe them. Discover more about the work of art. When was it created? Did the artist reveal what the work was about? Please do some additional research to learn as much as you can about the work of art. We will discuss your findings in class on Monday 10/29.

Creating a new world in Photoshop
Designing for the Web
Now that you have completed your research on Surrealism and are familiar with Photoshop, it is time for you to create your own unique work of art. Your artwork could make a statement about a global issue or you could focus on something more personal. Some students in the past have created light-hearted works of art and others delve into more somber issues...it is totally up to you. We will be animating this photoshop image in Flash so think about ways you will add movement and sound in the future. The images you see below all include the artist...you can be in your art as well.
Please read the Surrealistic Lesson Document for more details on the assignment.
