surrealism project


Digital surrealism project

“How do I create a photographic art piece, in the surrealist style, that has a meaningful message?”

My  concept  I  tried  to  get  was  a  uncomfortable  feeling.  First  off  at  this  stage  of  our  teenager  life  I  always  feel  watched.  I  feel  watched  even  when  im  in  my private  place  like  my  bedroom.  So  for  that  reason  I  chose  a  person  laying down  in  a  bed  sleeping  with  a  hockey  rink  as  the  background  for  my  digital surrealism  project.  I  did  this  because  I am  a  huge  hockey  fan, and  while playing  my  favourite  sport  hockey  I  always  feel  watched,  I  feel  watched  by  the  spectators  in  the  stands,  my  very  own  parents  and  your  coaches.  So  then  I  decided  to  add  eyes  to  show  the  spectators  in  the  stands  to  show  the  whole fact  about  being  watched  and  uncomfortable  and  put  this  into  my photomontage. Well  now  im  going  to  move  onto  the  challenges  I  had  with  this project.  First  off  I  had  a hard  time  cutting  out  the  bed.  So I  tried  the  magnetic lasso,  and  that  didn’t  turn  out  the  way  I  wanted  to  so  I  tried  the  mask.  I found  the  mask  a lot  easier  but  I still  had  problems  making  a perfect  cutting job  so  I  kept  on  going  and  finished  it.  Now  im  going  to  move  on  the  to  the good  things   did  with  this  photomontage.  Well  I  really  thought  I  did  a  good job  at  taking  the  pictures  and  putting  them  all  the  images  together  creating this  final  product.  I  also  like  the  way  I  cut  out  the  eyes  with  the  mask  and  I applied  the  eyes  to  the  finished  piece.  Lastly  what  I  learned  with  this  project. Well  I  learned  how  to  cut  out  organic  images  and  geometric  images  with  the mask  and  magnetic  lasso  tools. I  also  learned  how  to  use  the  clone  stamp.
