Well in at class today we saw everything from creepy crawlies to beautiful jewels.
This activity, variously called “Seeing Into” by Max Ernst or the “Paranoiac Critical Method” by Salvador Dali, enables artists to access content from the unconscious mind.
Seeing into is best compared to looking at the sky and seeing a rabbit in the clouds. You know there is not a rabbit in the sky but your mind associates shapes with familiar objects.
Today, students painted their name on one half of a piece of 11x16 construction paper. They then folded the paper while the paint was still wet creating a Mirrored or Symmetrical design.
Once the paint was dry, the students "saw into" their names.
Below are some the their works in progress.
Happy Creating,
Ms. M
