We traveled to Cadeques Spain when our son Devon was little to view Salvador Dali's amazing quirky house. I was so surprised that this world renowned amazing artist, grew up and resided in this small seaside village in the south of Spain.
His house was as colorful and imaginative as he
was, I bet he has some great parties there!!
I wrote this art project with my son Devon's 5th grade class in mind, I want them to go out in a bang this year, loving art! They're going to create Dream Boxes, after they learn all about Dali and Surrealism.
Materials:
boxes- we bought flat top wooden one's or similar from the craft store.
sky blue paint, brushes for background
white paint and cotton balls for clouds
pencils to sketch
miscellaneous paints, small brushes, colored sharpies or even oil pastels.
for the inside I was going to have them cut out quirky objects or designs they liked
out of magazines, mod podge it to the inside of the box and
hot glue gun a small toy to the bottom. I don't know why I added the little toy part,
but it sounded cute and an additional way to purge my kids junk drawers!
Let me know if you do something different with your dream boxes, and I'lll show you mine when they're done!
