Week of 2/1

Hi All,
Apologies for not posting soon, but as you'll remember from out class discussion, you are to design a Surrealist painting.  The Surrealists loved the juxtaposition of randomness and unrelated objects interacting in a way that becomes a bit unsettling.  Remember that Mad Libs is children's version of the Exquisite Corpse game, which in many ways is Surrealism in a nutshell.  Here are some links to major Surrealist Artists.  On each page, scroll down for links to lots of images:
