Surrealism

The full climb — from why anyone would want to paint a dream, all the way to staging your own eerie, believable image with one impossible thing in it. Four short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromFlip an ordinary scene into dream mode and watch one rule of reality quietly break. 2 How to do itSpin the juxtaposition machine and let pure chance hand you a surreal idea. 3 Where it gets trickySlide from one eerie twist into total chaos, and find where weird stops working. 4 Out in the wildDalí, Magritte and Oppenheim — then build a dream image of your own.
