Surrealism Project

For this assignment I wanted to have the theme of when people, "Veggie Out". I had originally envisioned a person with a broccoli head, but ended up using a Okinawa vegetable due to not finding the perfect broccoli at the market. The goya that I used was nice because it had great texture and interesting grooves for a fun image. I placed the goya image over my friends head and allowed certain features of her face to show through the vegetable. This was a very fun project to work with.

Surreal Artist

The artist I have chosen for my inspiration for the Surrealist project is Rene Magritte. I have chosen him because I enjoy his sense of humor and his style of surrealism. I also enjoy the work of Loretta Lux. I am still unsure if I will merge the two artists styles together or if I will just stick with Rene Magritte.

Panorama Project

The panorama project was more difficult than I expected. It was my first time creating a panorama using Photoshop and I had always thought that it would be better to take many many photos to create a great panorama. I ended up taking many photos but most of them were of the same image so that it would look funky when I attempted to create the panorama on the computer. I wanted the mural to be the main attraction for this project but I ended up including the building and the two billboards on top of the building. This photo was taken in Hollywood and I feel that the mural, the Playmates clothing store, the building, the billboards, and the pedestrians are all elements to the existing culture of Hollywood.
