what i wanted to do for my surrealism project is something that gave a message or two and for a topic i wanted to do something that has to do with money so i thought i could show people who have money think there on top of the world and they think they have power but some people really don’t and i also wanted to show woman could have power too because media makes woman look small and powerless so i wanted to show some power. so thats why i took a picture of a woman having her arms crossed to show her power and strength and to show woman can have power too and woman are strong.
this is what i did from start to finish so to start with i started sketching my ideas at first it was a woman’s eye with the world and a dollar sign inside but i didn’t like it i wanted more so i came up with this idea so i got the camera and took some pictures. so for the first picture i took a picture of my friend well i took a couple then i got the right one then for the world i took a picture of a globe i took a picture of the globe because i didn’t want to have a real world because i wanted it to send a message like just because you have money it doesn’t mean your on top of the world well not the real world maybe there own world but there really not on top of the world and people who think they are usually end up crashing and there world comes down. next i went on the internet and got a galaxy background then i got a picture of play money and i edited out the play money part so then i edited all of the images together and boom my final product was my friend standing on the world in the galaxy with bills floating around.
i learned that you should finish one thing at a time during this project so not going from one thing touching it up then going back and forth very time. I’m really satisfied with my work because it came out the way i really wanted it to and i think i did a good job at showing what my message was
