Project 6 - Surrealism

For this project, we were supposed to create at least one or more final pieces by combining at least 5 different elements from at least 3 different photographs. They could have a narrative, dreamlike or outlandish kind of feel. We would create these photos with the help of light room and photoshop. For my photo, I wanted to try to try to create a very dreamlike and outlandish feel. I did this by creating a solar system and had a background of Mt. Hood I took off my deck. I created the solar system by taking pictures of hula hoops and different types of food. I brought them into photoshop to create the solar system. I placed the photo of Mt. Hood behind my solar system to make the photo look very dreamlike. I also put another background of snow I took to create a cloudy type of look. The solar system is placed above the clouds and over the mountain to create a very mysterious and dreamlike image.

Secrets hidden above the clouds, and over the mountains

Surrealism

         Surrealism is an artistic, philosophical, intellectual and political movement that aimed to break down the boundaries of rationalization to access the imaginative subconscious. Surrealism is a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. Andre Breton was a French writer and poet. He is known best as the founder of Surrealism. Some famous surrealist painters are Man Ray, Rene Magritte, Yves Tanguy, Francis Picabia, Salvador Dali, Giorgio De Chirico and Max Ernst.
