The movement is best known for its visual artworks and writings and the juxtaposition of distant realities to activate the unconscious mind through the imagery.

Somewhere in the abstract surreal dreamworld of desires based on Catalan landscape and profound meditation on the theme of the space-time continuum. This painting was of great importance for Surrealism movement and for the artist himself, since Dalí has returned to the theme in various media, style and variations - The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory, Persistence of Memory, the Nobility of Time, the Profile of Time and the Three Dancing Watches.

Roby is the gloomy rabbit with red eyes that already started to slice the crocodile and eat it. Roby’s mother is the 3 headed girl who already started to direct her knife onto the crocodile’s mouth. The three head represent the cycle of life; birth, life, and death. Roby’s father has a crab claw head, which symbolize hope of an accomplishment or in other words, prayers that represent the family.  He already clamped on the crocodile’s tail and ready to cut it with a knife that he holds in his hand. Roby’s deceased brother is also present wearing a suit. His head is a Lily that symbolizes purity, simplicity and spirituality. The Lily also represents memory and innocence.

During the time of creating this painting, I felt completely submerged in mud mentally and emotionally. I wanted to use those emotions as fuel to inspire my way out of that place. The woman is in a fetal-like position with body language displaying surrender. Her energy is going towards creating something beautiful. Towards making it above the water. And with time, she gradually does.

Blurb's idea that we should stop wasting plastic to save our environment. His focal point is the roll of plastic so made it big in size. He used black wallpaper because when he put white wallpaper he find no balance of the colors in the picture. The artist add the picture of a man who looks educated and would understand the use of using plastic bags and how it affects the environment.

“This year is our year of shift, but also shift looking at the environment, nature, and climate change,” Karen Nelson, a representative for the institute said.  

A lot of the places that you see in his work are photographed within just a couple of miles from where he grew up. All of these ideas go in different directions, like different worlds in a way, but he somehow tries to bring it all together by photographing all the material in a similar environment.”

Materials: Small Canvas, Acrylic Paints, paper cups, trays, cardboard drip lift
Process: Select paints, layer, tip, agitate etc.
1. Set up materials
2. Prepare the Paints – Pour your fluid paint into paper cups ready to pour onto the canvas. Fluid paint can be made by combining acrylic paint, acrylic medium, and water. Add the water slowly while stirring to ensure the right consistency of paint.
3. Choose several colors you like, and pour different colors of paint into a paper cup.
4.Put canvas upside down on your paper cup, and then turn it over with the paper cup and the painting, then begin transferring paint to the canvas.
5. Spread the paint – Spread the paint by moving the canvas to let it naturally flow.

Reflection: Fluid art uses an acrylic paint that is more liquid than traditional acrylics. Fluid art paint is easy to make using acrylic paints, acrylic medium, and water. I enjoy the process of moving the canvas by hand and see the flow of paint of different colors. The coolest part of the painting is the thin yellow and blue stripes. If you look carefully, there will be butterflies, dogs, elephants, and snakes. And the white and pink fluctuations on the top are very distinctive and fantastic. Next time, I will try my best to save my painting, at least I should make it consistent with the original appearance. Because some parts of this painting were accidentally damaged, which is different from what I did at the beginning.

Reflection: The painting outlines a river of blood by contrasting strong and bright colors. The lower right corner of the painting has a lot of colors combined, green and black, color, white and so on. The shape of the lines is complex and looks strange. In the upper left corner, a scraping method is used to combine a straight line with a distorted wavy line. If you look closely, you will find a love above the painting, which represents the theme - Romance till death. 
Next time I'll improve and adjust the color coordination and drawing method, because I think the upper left corner will appear to be out of step with the overall painting.

Ideas: The background of the paint is from the magma of hell, to the ground, to the sky, to the clouds.

Outline: The head of a man in a formal suit become a book, and he holds a skull in his hand,  trying to figure out what it is about. The organs floating in the magma are like the letters in a book. This ''successful'' and ''knowledgeable'' person will not have the knowledge in the book in his mind, just as there will be no organs in this skeleton.
