Salvador Dali

Created By Myesha Uker

Dali's Childhood....

Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in Figures, Spain. Growing up, Dali had a fear of his father. He would turn to his mother or servants for confort. At the age of four Salvador Dali was sent to public school. However, he did not like the idea of being confined to a classroom all day. Most of his school time was spent day dreaming. When Dali's father found out that he was not doing well in school he put him into a private school. Here he was taught French, even though he spoke Catalan. French was the language that he used as an artist. He spent childhood summers in a fishing village near Cadaques. This was were Dali's first art studio was built by his parents. A family friend, Ramon Pichot, helped Dali with his paintings, and was his mentor.

Education....

Ramon Pichot also help convinced Salvador Dali's father to allow Salvador to apply to San Fernando Academy of Art in Madrid.
