"Blood, sweat and tears = creativity" - by Mr Mustafa


Hello again! This week, Mr. Mustafa explained more in depth to us about creativity and how creativity is all about effort and hard work. So,for this week, I would like to share a few paintings created by great artists from the 20th century. These paintings that I would like to share are all based on the main theme of optical illusion and it is interesting to look and observe the hidden meaning/objects in these paintings. These artists must have spent a great deal of effort and research to come up with these paintings. Here I have some paintings from the great surrealist artist, Salvador Dali and also paintings from Mexican artist, Octavio Ocampo. Can you spot all the hidden elements in the painting?

First up is ‘Swans reflecting Elephants’ by Salvador Dali

Title is self-explanatory. You can see the reflection of the swans forming the elephants


Octavio Ocampa: Metamorphosis Art Woman and Horses

The horses and the birds form the image of a woman


Octavio Ocampa: The General's Family

This painting contains all the hidden family members of the general's family. Can you find them all? There is 9 all together.
