The bizarre and often humorous creations of Rene Magritte, Joan Mir, Salvador Dal, and other surrealists are showcased in this activity guide for young artists. Foremost among the surrealists, Salvador Dal was a painter, filmmaker, designer, performance artist, and eccentric self-promoter. His famous icons, including the melting watches, double images, and everyday objects set in odd contexts, helped to define the way people view reality and encourage children to view the world in new ways. Dal's controversial life is explored while children trace the roots of some familiar modern images. These wild and wonderful activities include making Man Rayinspired solar prints, filming a Dali-esque dreamscape video, writing surrealist poetry, making collages, and assembling art with found objects.

Industry Reviews

"For years I have waited for an appropriate book to recommend to students and teachers that communicates Dali's truly remarkable life and ideas without compromising his complexity in its presentation... I am thrilled to recommend Michael Ross's wonderful new book on Salvador Dali." --Peter Tush, curator of education, Salvador Dali Museum (from the foreword)
