Student Resource: Salvador Dali

Occupation: Artist, Painter, Sculptor, Film Maker

Famous works: The Persistence of Memory, Lobster Telephone

Style/Period: Surrealism, Modern Art

Born: 1904 in Spain

Died: 1989 in Spain

Where did Salvador Dali grow up?

Salvador Dali was born in Figueres, Spain on May 11, 1904. His father

was a lawyer and very strict, but his mother was kind and

encouraged Salvador's love for art. Growing up he enjoyed drawing

and playing football. He often got into trouble for daydreaming in

school. He had a sister named Ana Maria who would often act as a

model for his paintings.

Becoming an Artist

Salvador began drawing and painting while he was still young. He painted outdoor scenes

such as sailboats and houses. He also painted portraits. As a teenager he experimented with

modern painting styles such as Impressionism. When he turned seventeen, he moved to

Madrid, Spain to study at the Academy of Fine Arts. Dali was unruly at school and often got

into trouble. When he was close to graduation, he was expelled for causing problems with the

teachers. QUESTION 1: Compare and contrast your experiences at school with Salvador Dali’s.

Explain how you are like and unlike Salvador Dali.

Experimenting with Art

After leaving school, Salvador Dali experimented and studied different kinds of art. He

explored classic art, Cubism, Dadaism, and other avant-garde artists. Eventually he became

interested in Surrealism. From this point on, he would concentrate much of his work on

Surrealism. He became one of the most important artists of the Surrealist movement.

Surrealism

Dali became involved with the Surrealism art

movement. The word "surrealism" means

"above or beyond realism." The surrealists

appealed to his wild sense of humor, they

invented surrealist games and enjoyed

using juxtaposition to create surrealistic

artwork by putting different objects

together to make something playful and

disturbing at the same time. The movement

had an impact on film, poetry, and music.

Here is Dalí's version of a surrealist sculpture.

It is called Lobster Telephone. QUESTION 2:

What two objects would you put together to

create a surreal sculpture? Why would you

put these two objects together?

Lobster Telephone, Salvador Dali, Sculpture, 1936

Surrealist artist were influenced by a famous psychoanalyst named Sigmund Freud. A

psychoanalyst is a doctor who studies the human mind and tries to understand it. Freud

believed that our minds are divided into two parts: the conscious part and the unconscious

part. He believed that we use our conscious mind to make decisions, like whether to walk or

ride a bike to school. Freud believed that we store our memories in our unconscious mind. He

also believed that sometimes memories get mixed up in our dreams. This is what Salvador Dali

tried to create in his surrealistic art. Surrealist art is often a mixture of strange objects (melting

clocks, heads made of clouds) and perfectly normal looking objects that are out of place (A

lobster on a telephone). This dream-like art showed situations that would be bizarre or

impossible in real life. Salvador Dalí made paintings, sculptures and films about the dreams

he had. He created melting clocks and floating eyes, clouds that look like faces and rocks

that look like bodies. Surrealistic paintings can be shocking, interesting, beautiful, and

sometimes just plain weird. Think about what your artwork would look like if you drew or

painted your dreams. I bet they would be pretty weird too! QUESTION 3: Describe a dream

you might want to make into a piece of artwork.

The Persistence of Memory

In 1931 Salvador Dali painted what would become the most famous painting of the Surrealist

movement. It is titled The Persistence of Memory. The scene is a normal looking landscape, but

it is covered with melting watches. Some parts of it are quite mysterious and leave the viewer

with a lot of questions. QUESTION 4: Study this painting and write down three questions you would like to ask Salvador Dali about The Persistence of Memory.

The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali, painting, 1931

Becoming Famous

Salvador Dalí was a very eccentric man. Here is a picture of him. You can

always recognize him because he has a funny moustache.

He married his longtime love Gala and they moved to the United States in

1940, fleeing World War II. Dali was very popular in America. He enjoyed

attention and liked to stand out as an individual through the artwork he

made, the way he dressed, and through the things he did. Salvador Dali

was a celebrity and an artist.

Legacy

Salvador Dali is the most famous of the Surrealist artists. His ability to shock and entertain made

his artwork popular. Salvador Dalí liked to use a lot of different materials to make art,

including paint, sculpture and film. He even designed furniture, jewels and scenery for

theatre production. He was a man of many talents and he is still seen as a great artist who

influences many artists today.

QUESTION 5: Look at some of the Artwork below. What do you think of Dalí's artwork? Is it

funny, weird...scary? Explain your opinion.

Grade 5 Visual Arts Activity: Explore Juxtaposition – Play a game that focuses on

Juxtaposition with your family. I Can Statements

I can make artwork using different materials, techniques, and processes to make artwork.

I can organize work for presentation and documentation to reflect specific content, ideas, skills and or media.

I can choose and organize work that demonstrates related concepts, skill, and/or media.

_______ Activity 1: The Juxtaposition Game – Play the following game with your family. Have fun with this game. This is an exercise in thinking differently about the things that we have in your home. _______ Purpose of the Game: – Juxtaposition is placing two or more things together to compare or contrast or to create an interesting effect. The purpose of this game is to create a series of temporary sculptures and discuss the effects of the juxtaposition of objects. _______ Rules of the Game:

1. Each play will bring to the table 5-10 random and unrelated objects. Anything will do such as: a banana, tooth paste, toy car, pencil, paperclip, shoe, potted plant, quarter, clock, bowl, or a can of soup. Be creative in your choices. Try to find at least a few things that have a special meaning to you.

2. Place all items in the center of the table. 3. Beginning with the youngest player. Allow each player to select one item from the pile.

The item does not have to be one that they brought to the table. 4. Repeat step 3 two more times so that each player has 3 items. 5. Individually, each player assembles a temporary sculpture by placing the items next to,

on top of, or under one another. 6. At least two of the items must be used, and all three can be used. 7. Each player can have one swap. A swap is when a plyer trades in one of the items that

they initially selected for another item on the table. 8. Unused items are returned to the center of the table. 9. Beginning with the oldest player, players take turns presenting their sculpture to each

other and making an argument as to why their sculpture is the most unique. Presenters must use the words juxtaposition and/or juxtaposed in the presentation. If they forget, the game is forfeited for that player.

10. To determine the winner, everyone must vote to determine whose sculpture includes the most unique use of juxtaposition. You may not vote for your own sculpture. The winner gets one point. Continue playing until someone reaches 3 points.

11. If you are still having fun, continue playing until someone reaches 5 or 10 points or come up with variations on the game (i.e.: use 5 items for your sculpture, or create a group sculpture with each player adding one item)

_______Activity 2: Submitting Your Assignment: – No work needs to be submitted for this lesson.


Anchor Standard 2: I can use different materials, techniques, and processes to make art.

Artistic Process Standard - Presenting: I can choose nd organize work that demonstrates related

concepts, skills, and/or media.

Grade 5 Visual Arts Activity: Dreamscape Part A - Background – Study the

dreamscapes that Salvador Dali created. Create a dreamscape of your own. This project will take three sessions to complete. During today’s lesson (Part A) you will develop the background for your dreamscape. (Part B and C will focus on the middle- and foreground.) I Can Statements



_______ Activity 1: Understand the parameters of the project – Read the list below to understand the whole project.

1. You will create a dreamscape. It should be fantastical and include juxtaposition of objects to create interest or confusion.

2. Your dream scape will include: a. A background (the area farthest away from the viewer) b. A middleground (the objects between the background and foreground – most of

the “action” or subject of the artwork should occur in the middleground. c. One or more photographs or drawings of yourself. You are part of the

dreamscape. The photograph or drawing can be of your whole body in a specific pose or poses or part of your body (i.e.: your hand or eye)

d. A foreground (the objects closest to the viewer) _______ Activity 2: Review Dreamscapes by Salvador Dali – Review the examples of

dreamscapes by Salvador Dali. Some of his backgrounds are simple and others are quite complex. Think about what you will include in your dreamscape. Think about what will be in the background, middleground, and foreground. What is the setting of the dreamscape? Will it be in the jungle, in the dessert, in a city, in your home, or somewhere else? What will you be happening in your dreamscape? What objects might seem out of place? How could you use juxtaposition? What will you be doing? Will you be a giant or a tiny fairy? Will you be doing something impossible like flying or riding a tiger? Sketch some ideas. _______ Activity 3: Create the Background for your Dreamscape – The background of a piece of artwork is the part that is farthest from the viewer. In landscapes, usually backgrounds consist of sky, the horizon, tree lines and land forms that appear in the distance. In the case of a cityscape, the background may include buildings that appear in the distance. Draw, paint, collage, or papier-mâché your background. Make it simple or complex. Consider using recycled or repurposed materials. You could use cardboard from a cereal box or shoe box. If you paint, collage, or papier-mâché the background, make sure it is dry before beginning the middleground in Part B.

_______Activity 4: Submitting Your Assignment: – You do not need to submit your artwork for grading until Part C is finished.







Grade 5 Visual Arts Activity: Dreamscape Part B - Middleground – Study the

dreamscapes that Salvador Dali created. Create a dreamscape of your own. This project will take three sessions to complete. During today’s lesson (Part B) you will develop the middleground for your dreamscape. (Part C will focus on the foreground.) I Can Statements



_______ Activity 1: Create the Middleground for your Dreamscape – The middleground of a piece of artwork is in front of the background, but behind the foreground. This is where most of the “important” subject matter is. It’s where the action takes place. It is where the story happens. Find or make images to collage onto your background. You can use magazines, photographs, or images printed from your computer. Juxtapose the images so that they appear as they might in a dream. What is happening that is confusing or unrealistic? Don’t forget that you must include at least one image of yourself or part of your body. Some examples are:

Print or draw 10 tiny pictures of yourself with wings and include yourself as fairies flying around the city, on the moon, or in the country.

Print or draw your head and included it as part of a cloud.

Print or draw your leg and foot and include it stomping on an oak tree or car.

Print or draw yourself with a cape, flying through the air like a superhero, saving cats from a giant ladybug.

Be creative with your pose(s) and your imagery. _______Activity 4: Submitting Your Assignment: – You do not need to submit your artwork

for grading until Part C is finished.







Grade 5 Visual Arts Activity: Dreamscape Part C - Foreground – Study the

dreamscapes that Salvador Dali created. Create a dreamscape of your own. This project will take three sessions to complete. During today’s lesson (Part C) you will develop the foreground for your dreamscape. I Can Statements



_______ Activity 1: Create the foreground for your Dreamscape – The foreground of a piece of artwork appears to be the closest objects to the viewer. In landscapes, foregrounds often consist of grasses or other plant life running across the bottom of the paper, or placed in the corners. Foregrounds can also include branches that would run across or near the top of the artwork. You will draw, paint, or collage a foreground onto your dreamscape. This is another opportunity to use juxtaposition. For example, if you are drawing grass at the bottom of your paper, perhaps instead of grass, you draw a bunch of bananas. If you are drawing a branch across the top of the dreamscape, it could have bottles for leaves and cars for flowers. Be creative with your imagery. _______Activity 2: Submitting Your Assignment: – When you have finished your dreamscape, photograph it and submit it to me at [email protected] for a grade. Be sure to include your first and last name and homebase teacher’s name on the e-mail. Submitted work that is missing names and/or homebases will not be scored.
