I'm awesome in so many ways. I like to have fun. The louder the music the better I always say. = =

Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 and died on January 23, 1989. He was born in Figueres. He is a spanish surrealist who moved to the united states after world war II started. He is well known for his unreal paintings. He is a 20th century painter. He's been to Paris and the United States. Going to many art schools along the way.

Surrealism is the movement in art and literature, that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. Salvador Dali has made many paintings and sculptures in this form. Many today are in special galleries around the world.

I like this form of art. Its a creative way to show something simple. I like it because it destroys the original rules. I like Dali's work because its so interesting. Very different then other works of that time. Each picture has a meaning but tells it in a supernatural way.

The title of this painting is The persistence of Memory. It was made in the year 1931 It was made on oil on canvas. I found it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Memory. It makes me feel depressed. Because of the drooping clocks. It also makes me feel tired because of the background. The background looks like a sunset.

 The title of the painting is Apparatus and Hand. It was made in 1927. It was made on oil on panel. I found it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparatus_and_Hand. This makes me feel mad. Makes me feel like i have rage inside. I think its because of the hand because that's the part that catches my eye the most.
