Surrealist Dream Drawing
Suitable for all ages. Child, Teen and Adult.
A workshop inspired by the automation techniques and games of the Surrealists and divination tools that were employed by the Symbolists and which are common to both contemporary spiritual healers and visionary artists, I conceived this workshop to aid participants engagement with the unconscious or subconscious parts of their psyche. Beginning by exploring colour and mark-making, particpants are then led through a visual meditation, brought back to the worktable and encouraged to work with the fantastical visions or personal symbols that came to them during the guided visualisation process.
