12. Surrealistic Techniques include Juxtapositioning of incongruent objects Strong use of figure/ground relationships Double imaging(this is where an image can be two things) Distortion Morphing of forms Size placement/proportion Themes and ideas do not have to be “creepy” or gory. Themes can be thought- provoking, communicating a message or idea.

15. This work shows the use of stippling to create value. Stippling provides the greatest degree of control and range of values pen working with pen and ink.

16. Use of strong contrasts works well with pen and ink drawings. Once you complete your pen and ink drawing you may choose to go back into the drawing and add some graphite shading to model forms and create a 3-D effect.
