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

black and white

In this version of this picture i wanted to focus on the blacks and the whites in this image











In this version i wanted to make it dark with a little light so in this i focused on black

in this picture i tried to do something different and make it black and white but make it look like its gray and it looks like someone drew it

Daumier charcoal art

This piece of art im showing today is something  my year one cyber arts class worked on this is a remake of daumier's 3rd class carriage but when we made it we put it together like a puzzle piece we each got a little card with a piece of the original on it in black and white and we had to enlarge it to a big piece of paper and once we were done we solved the puzzle by putting all or pieces together keep this in mind we had no idea what we were doing at first but i think it turned out pretty good

The unity in this image is good most of the blacks and the whites go together and i think most of the lines on the left side fit together good. Balance there is not really any balance in this picture in some spots there are the darkest darks like the top left corner and lightest lights like where the woman is holding a baby near the middle. Now a thing that isnt in this picture is movement there is nothing i see that makes my eyes go around the page  and makes me look at a vocal point there i think the best thing in this picture or our lines i think some connect good and match the original picture 

Emotionalism i see emotionalism when i look at the peoples faces they all look sad and dark and grumpy because of the setting and all there clothing they all look poor and there traveling in a train car that doesn't look to classy 

imittationalism i think the imittationalism in this is not good nothing looks real except the lady holding the baby i think that is the best thing plus most of the lines dont add up and the values  dont add up but even in the original i dont think the imittationalism is very good either just because of the way he made the characters

Hope you enjoy our version of daumiers 3rd class carriage 

my magic mic

This is the original mic that I started with then I out lined it and the next couple of pictures you will see are the copy's i made.

this is the first copy i made out of that picture above this is my black and white image i really like this one i tried it the other way and put the black where the white was and the white where the black was but it just didn't look right. I think the way i kept it worked out well it looks big and BOLD and it has unity thats the way i wanted it to look. 

this copy is probably my least favourite because its just plane boring and dark it kinda makes me depressed it has a good balance between the greys but thats probably the best thing about this. Im being serious when i say i really dislike the greyscale there is a lot of space in this image i didn't think it look that good in the centre of the  image overall i do not really like this one...did i mention that earlier 

This is my last image of my illustrator work and my favourite because i love the contrast of all the bright colours and how i used some of the same colours in different mic's. This is my favourite because i love the variety of mic's and the balance between the mic's my favourite mic on this image is the pink one with the yellow on the insides because it reminds me of the marilyn monroe painting with the pink back round and yellow hair. I emphisized the real looking mic because it looked real and it would make everyones eyes move around to the color and create movement  

i hope you enjoyed it

garden photos

 This photo is at the top because it is my favourite. Its my favourite because the selective focus on the main flower is beautiful and it emphasizes the main flower with the bee on it. I got this picture at the right time and place with the bee on the flower and all. I'm surprised i got that close i hate bee's.

 I like this photo because the oranges pop and makes the flower look like its blooming i love the contrast in this image and i like how the dark green makes the orange pop and it emphasize's the bright colours. In the original the image was very plane and just empty thats why i wanted to make it fun looking with the bright oranges the orange never use to stand out and i wanted everyones eyes to go right to the orange. I also like the way the green looks and it looks like a jungle to me in a way.


I really like this photo because is simple i didn't change to much other then then the contrast and i crop'ed it because the whole image was to big and empty so i tried to just focus on the flowers. I also like it because it reminds me of a scene in one of my favourite shows the walking dead.

I like this picture because the way all the flowers are close together and it creates balance i kinda gave this image a vintage look in a way. This image doesn't have a whole lot to talk about this is probably my second least favourite.








Now this is my least favourite image because its just kinda boring my favourite part of this image is the bright colour and how it emphasizes it.
