Sgraffito Technique
Journal #19 - Use 1-2 colored pencils and add color to your final ceramics sketch. The white that you do not color will be scraped away once you coat your piece with underglaze. Concentrate on having a balance of solid white areas, solid colored areas, and thin line details. The principles of pattern and contrast are crucial for a successful sgraffito design.

Surrealism's Beginnings: Andre Breton, who is occasionally described as the 'Pope' of Surrealism, officially founded the movement in 1924 when he wrote "The Surrealist Manifesto." " What Breton proposed was that artists bypass reason and rationality by accessing their unconscious mind.
Surrealism & Writing: The Surrealists began as a literary group. They relied heavily on automatic writing as a way to tap into the unconscious and embrace chance, the unexpected, and the unpredictable. They emphasized the power of the imagination.
Surrealist Concepts: By employing fantasy and dream imagery, surrealists generated creative works in a variety of media that exposed their inner minds in eccentric, symbolic ways.
Surrealism & Color: The color in these works were often either saturated or monochromatic to convey a dream state.
Surreal Objects: The strategy was not to make Surreal objects for the sake of shocking the viewer but to make objects "surreal" by displacement. If the object is removed from its normal circumstances, the viewer is "defamilarized" with it. The subject matter was often depicted in bizarre scenes with unsettling juxtapositions, which were meant to disturb and baffle.
