This web page is a group project on surrealism that can be introduced
as a learning experience rather than something to be fired. After
doing the work and learning the lessons the clay is not fired, but
used again. I would tell them in advance that the work is for
learning - not to be fired. After doing the work, I ask them to
explain how it felt and what they learned about their own creative
thinking. It can be a good discussion about how we get new ideas and
where our ideas come from for our art and in our lives. Art History
ideas are given in the lesson.
