My poster which is a hypothetical art exhibition titled “dreamlike” I feel really encapsulates the word “dream,” we dream with our brains, our dreams are wacky and fun. My overriding theme was surrealism and I was inspired by surrealist artwork to make my poster feel out of this world and not ordinary. I feel achieved this by ensuring every element of my poster was something you had to think about in order to discover it’s meaning, I wanted there to be several elements which tied in together so that you can come up with almost any meaning as there is endless possibilities. The brain itself is a solar system of thoughts and the thoughts are shown as planets, the technicality of the human brain which allows us to dream and come up with such wacky ideas to create surrealism is shown through the use of a spiders web because when I think of a brain I often think of a web which all links and works together in order to come up with an idea. I want my poster to be striking on the page and to look like something no one’s ever seen because that is what surrealism is, you are stepping out of the ordinary and mundane into something new, exciting and unreal. There is a mix of nature and the nature we are completely alien to which is our solar system, despite it being real it feels especially surreal to us because it is so hard to comprehend I like to view it as almost a dream as we still don’t fully understand how our own minds work so we could be dreaming most of our ideas.
