1. Wednesday, 3/12 Objective: Use the Paranoiac Critical Investigation Method to identify, reveal and render a creature or creatures on your journal cover. Collaborate with your group to attach hands to the tree armatures and apply paper mache. Paranoiac Critical Investigation: A surrealist technique for creating images developed by Salvador Dalí in the early 1930s based on the brain’s need to try and make sense out of things which rationally do not make sense. Using the method when creating a work of art uses an active process of the mind to visualize images called phantom objects in blobs of color and work these into the creation of the final work.

27. To Do Spend some time staring at the shapes and colors on your journal covers. Look at them from different angles. Visualize the monsters, creatures and other things that exist within the blobs of color. Pair with a partner to point out and discuss your visualizations. Ask what your partner sees on your paper and look at theirs. Use the markers and pencils to bring out the monster/creature you visualized within your paper by adding outlines, colors, details and whatever else you need to on your paper. Allow your brain to visualize. BE CREATIVE.

28. To Do Complete the Paranoiac Critical Investigation drawings: - Recognize shapes within shapes within the outline of your monsters. - Add color to those shapes or add lines and textures over ones that are already there to make them more visible. - Make your visualizations visible to everyone else so they can look at your work and see what you saw without you having to explain it to them. EXPLORE, EXPERIMENT, STRETCH YOUR IMAGINATION, BE CREATIVE
