  1. Fantasy Art and Surrealism

  2. What is Fantasy Art? • Fantasy art is a genre of art that depicts magical or other supernatural themes, ideas, creatures or settings. • Magical or supernatural elements • Dragons, wizards, fairies and other fantastical and mythical creatures are common features in fantasy art.

  3. What is surrealism? • Surrealism was an artistic and literary movement, dedicated to expressing the imagination as revealed in dreams, free of the conscious control of reason and convention. • The principles, ideals, or practice of producing fantastic imagery or effects in art, by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations.

  4. Juxtaposition in Surrealism Juxtaposition – the placing of random objects close to each other, or side by side, especially for comparison or contrast. Surrealists place random objects near each other than make no sense together.

  5. In this Hand-scape Fantasy Art assignment, you will use pencils AND/OR pencils to create a “Hand-scape”. This is a sketch of a human hand integrated into a fantasy or surreal background.

  6. This landscape is “surreal” because it places objects together that don’t normally belong together. Here we see part of a galaxy with trees and rock. This landscape came from someone’s imagination and breaks the rules of conventional landscapes.
