Surrealism is a cultural movement that emphasizes the use of art to convey the artist's own ideas. Surrealism is one of the most popular digital art forms now. What is surrealism ? Dream-like scenes and symbolic images, unexpected, illogical juxtapositions.

 

There is no logic in surrealism, it is often characterized by unusual visuals and bizarre juxtapositions, which is inspired by dreams and the subconscious mind.

Digitise

 1. I gather the photography I want to use from my gallery.
            

Fig. 1.6 Gate, castle, me

2. I start to draw the key shaped door into the fairytale, inserted my quote, the castle picture and myself. This was done in Adobe Illustrator.

3. The castle picture is full of people so I decided to edit it in photoshop.I also use selection and fill tool to erase the people.

4. I  add element to enhance the visual of the picture. Below is the element/picture I use.

 

Fig. 1.9 Extra Elememnts

 

5. I use the method of double exposure from previous exercise to cut out left part of the castle, and put it into right side because I want to make the castle looks bigger. Lastly I apply adjustment layers (colou balance, levels, curves and hue/saturation) to enhance the colour of the picture.
