Searching for Dali


For my I-Search Paper I searched about Salvador Dali. And I found information about life, his famous paintings, and how he was influenced to be able to produce such wonderful paintings as well as influencing other artists. I decided to choose him since I really admire the creativity he had and the message his paintings transmitted.

During research time, I found a lot of useful information; most of it was biographies. Since I had many places to choose information from, I decided to take pieces and main ideas of information from the different websites and created a biography with this. This was useful since there wasn’t a website that had them all. I also looked at books for information but I could only find his biography and some paintings at an encyclopedia.

On my I-Search Paper I also wanted to include some of his paintings. So I looked at internet for the more important and famous ones.  I couldn’t find a lot of information for most of them. But I did found information for his more known piece titled “the persistence of memory”. Many websites had information like the interpretation, the message Dali wanted to transmit, what it consisted of, and mostly critics opinion.

I-SEARCH SALVADOR DALI


For my I search paper I choose Salvador Dali as my topic. I choose him because he’s been an inspiration for me, and I really admire his way of painting and his creativity. How he can paint something realistic but at the same time it’s unreal, out of this world, creative and fantastic. I started getting interested with this character of art’s history when I got the chance to see one of his paintings called “woman at the window”. This piece of art is one of my favorites. Sometimes I can identify with that girl at the painting, seeing and trying to understand which emotion Dali shows and wants to reflect.
