Ocean View School District Summer School

Each lesson is inspired by the life and work of a Focus on the Masters Documented Artist.

Magical Surrealism

Often dreamlike and mysterious, Christine Brennan refers to her work as Magical Surrealism.  There may be a child-like feel, but she uses traditional elements.  Students learned how to use  contour line, value and form and a strong horizon line as they let their creativity flow.

Four week and single lessons are also available. Our lessons are cross-curricular and support the California content standards. Many of them can be tailored and grouped to work with a particular unit of study, i.e. zoology, social studies, history, language arts, sciences, etc. They are adaptable to a wide range of grade levels from elementary through secondary grades and beyond, including community groups and programs. Programs are supported in a variety of ways, including school and PTA funds, grants, or personal donations from an individual or group of parents/grandparents.

Our program is taught by professional artists who have extensive educational experience. We feel that this criterion helps to guide the student with a deeper understanding of the art making process.
