Lesson Extension:
Introduce students to Surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Dali was born in Spain and later moved to the United States. When he was growing up, he felt different from other kids and needed a lot of attention. As an adult, Dali was a Surrealist artist who drew inspiration from his dreams.
​Elephants are a recurring theme in Salvador Dali’s art work. His painting, Elephants – created in 1948 – is a wonderful example of a Surrealist painting because the subject (elephants) look like they might be real, but their exaggerated bodies tell a different tale.
