Project 9 - Prework

Surrealism is a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature that
sought to release thecreative potential of the unconscious mind, for example
by the irrational juxtaposition of images. This form of art involves strange
images that are extremely irrational, creative and abstract. Some examples
of this are:

The Elephant Celebes, Max Ernst

The Son of Man, Rene Magritte

Examples of surrealist photography:

Martin Stranka - Close

Philippe Halsman - Dali Atomicus, 1948

Stone Part One - Tommy Ingberg

Project 8 - Digital Alternative Process

In this project we used digital tools, like photo shop, to imitate other form of photography. For example, we imitated daguerreotypes and cyanotypes. These are forms of photography that were invented about a hundred yeas ago and look really cool and old. We imitated them digitally. Here are my daguerreotypes and cyanotypes.

This is my daguerreotype. I tried to imitate depression era photos and I think it turned out well.
