As a group we came up with the theme surrealism.  Surrealism is an early 20th century movement in art and literature that tried to represent the subconscious mind by creating fantastic imagery and juxtaposing ideas that seem to contradict each other.  As an individual,  we interpreted what we believed to be the meaning of surreal, something that is bizarre in nature, weirdly unfamiliar, distorted, or disturbing, like what you may experience in a dream and created a universal presentation ranging  from oil and acrylic paintings, to graffiti, to body painting.

We chose pieces that would not be concluded to be of the norm, or a piece of everyday art. There is a distortion to each piece of art and a sense of unfamiliarity when looking at each one.  Art gives us a way to express ourselves in such a way to make our lives infinitely rich and is both inspirational and functional in our everyday lives.  Which also gives us an inspirational outlet to the world. 

The Art world is in a constant swirl of change and keeps up with the constant change of society, bringing different mediums and perspectives to the table. The connections we made are because of our love for the art.  Its not particularly about the piece itself, but rather how the piece speaks to each one of us as being the individual.
