I have to do a stupid surrealist drawing for class. I need some ideas because God knows junior high killed my creativity.

Get ideas from dreams. Have you brain do all the creativity for you.

Smoke some weed and watch Paprika.

I'm sure you'll get creative after that!

Change the size of things (i.e. make an elephant small next to a big glass of water). Distort shapes. Draw impossible things (i.e. have pigs flying). I have no idea if this counts as surrealist art. Good luck.

I'm glad to know me and my buddies weren't the only ones to do this.

Anyways, draw surrealistic art = drawing bullshit.
Just draw all sorts of crazy bullshit, like banana-pigs with dragon wings that inhabit the northpole while barack Obama is singing the polish national anthem whilst standing atop a giant igloo shaped like a mans penis.

Have the clouds in the sky be covered newspaper-clippings(only the ones with the really weird and twisted news), and draw the sun like the angry shit in my sig, then top it off by writing FOCK CONFORMITY with a fat magic marker.

Now pour some smelly liquid on it and let the it soak into the paper.

Sign it, hand it in - profit.

use google images, steal one thing from each image result.... and viola!!!

also, post your drawing once its done. would be interesting to see what you come up with.

The point of surrealist art is to tap into your subconscious. This includes dream imagery. You can also try to fool people's perceptions - a lot of surrealist art likes to mess with the senses.

Meret Oppenheim's piece juxtaposes fur and porcelain, making the viewer imagine what it would be like to use furry utensils.

I love Max Ernst

really damn cool Rene Magritte piece, this is what I meant with the perceptions business.

The trick to doing these and making them cool are using ideas that even you think are completely stupid.
