Joseph Cornell lived between 1903-1972 and was an American artist who was heavily influenced by the Surrealists (Surrealism was all about fusing dreams with reality and confusing the two). He worked in different types of artistic media, one of which was sculptures from found objects. He liked to make boxes using objects and images that he found and would create a story with these thrown out objects by giving them a new purpose.
What you will do:
-Choose one of the above images and come up with your own idea as to what the story or dream may have been about
-Think of what images you will want to put on your clay box (maybe come up with your own story or reference a dream you have had)
-Start sketching ideas for your clay box
