Conduct a comparative visual analysis of two Surrealist artworks that contain depictions of animals or use animal materials, both selected from the image collection (see The Writing Process).1 How do the artists render animals, humans and humanoid figures, objects, and the surrounding environment as well as the relationships between these iconographic elements? What kind of responses do the formal and stylistic elements of the artworks elicit from the viewer? What ways of seeing the world do these artworks create? Using the specific visual evidence you have collected from your careful analysis of each image, build your essay to support an interpretive thesis about the meaning you extrapolate from your comparison of the two artworks.
