Surrealistic Encaustic Paintings
We began by studying the Surrealism Art Movement, which occurred after WWI and was heavily influenced by the teachings of Sigmund Freud. This type of artwork defied logic and attempted to tap into the subconscious, or dreamworld. For our surrealistic paintings, we used wax as our medium, melting crayons onto pancake griddles and painting with them. We also experimented with collage techniques, burying paper in the layers of wax. Here are the results!
