paper

Surrealist artists believed that artists shouldn't copy reality. Some artists painted directly from dreams, while others created impossible scenes by combining objects or events that had nothing to do with one another. They put every day objects in unexpected places and mixed together very different ideas and images. Surrealistic art was full of surprises and contradicted our idea of reality. Surrealist artists thought up whole new ways of looking at things. The surrealistic artist hoped that their strange works of art would make people think and discover feelings they never knew they had.
