Pretend Play & Magical Thinking

For this activity, I chose to transform the wire plug into an elephant by using the artistic style called "Surrealism". "Surrealism means super-realism. It attempts to  create a magical, dreamlike world that is more intense than real" (Schirrmacher & Fox, 2009, P. 204). By using a real object and transform it with our imagination. Just like the wire plug, the wire is long as the elephant trunk, and the shape of the wire plug would be the body of the elephant. Last by adding the eyes, ears, legs, and tail, the elephant will come to life.
