Assignment: Lowbrow Art / Pop Surrealism

***
Your next art assignment is to create a piece of “Lowbrow” art (a. k. a. Pop Surrealism). First, however, you are going to do some research on the web. (Note: you will be receive a handout for this assignment with the specific requirements.)

FOR TODAY... You are going to post links to some Lowbrow art that you like. (details below)


First, take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about Lowbrow-- it's a pretty good description.


Also, I have made a previous post about Lowbrow on this blog; take a look at that as well.


Then, look at some artwork. Here is a great website with a TON of Lowbrow / Pop Surrealism-- La Luz de Jesus gallery.


The website for Juxtapoz Magazine is worth looking at as well. Juxtapoz is the first magazine to feature Lowbrow (and other related art).


High Fructose is another magazine that has a website you might want to look at.

Note to parents: the website was acting up on the day we were in the computer lab, so students were unable to post comments. They printed examples of work that they liked for reference/inspiration.
