Studio Journals are a form of creative research tool that are used in most art schools. For this episode, we got ours out of the bin to bring you an episode on one of the most commonly taught art movements - surrealism!

We talk about the historical context behind the movement, discuss some of its key players, and try our best to hide our hatred of Sigmund Freud.
