Inspired by Surrealism and Pop Surrealism art movements, we explored portraiture with dreamlike qualities. The use of the insect motifs represents the uneasy feeling of trying to place a memory or thought. As a group, we drew a variety of portraits and added shading using graphite pencil. We used a marbling technique to create organic, line-based backgrounds. Digital technologies were used to combine and animate each element to create a sense of oneness and cohesion. The music emphasises those floating feelings and thoughts that swirl around in our minds.
