Surrealism

I am interested in surrealism related lesson plans because I believe it is a good opportunity for students to create art-work in their unconscious mind set.  In the reading Surrealist Games complied by Alastair Brotchie, it was said that " Surrealist games provide keys to unlock the door to the unconscious and release the visual and verbal poetry of collective creativity".  I  agree with Brotchie in a way that surrealist games practice creativity. It allows freedom with little guide lines.  Ideas for a lesson plan: ask students to think of ways to re-assemble their reality using collage elements and other mediums in their unconscious mind set. They can relate their work about themselves, people they may know and surroundings that have influenced them. I would want students to think of how they wish the world were and to create a collage element piece. It might be helpful for them to think about what they would like to surround them in their "dream world" and that it can be objects, people and locations that are meaningful, humorous or something their interested in.
