4th Grade: Dali Mustache



I mustache you a question. Do you know of the fantastic Salvador Dali mustache?

Fourth graders learned about the craziness of Surrealism and the ever so eccentric, Salvador Dali. We learned about him and some of his quirky behaviors (did you know he jumped up and down in public to get people's attention?), the qualities of Surrealism and about his infamous mustache!

This lesson focuses on Art History with Salvador Dali and Surrealism but I also take it as an opportunity to teach about facial proportions. We tried to keep the portrait serious and the background full of surrealism crazy! Down below you will see flying cheese, floating snakes, coins falling from the sky, with a side of berries and stars to complete the gallery.
