Surrealistic Theme

Well for my photomontage I would like to use different thing like planes, clouds, clocks and trees most likely in a park. I would like to use the clocks like Salvador Dali did but to make them stars instead of melting down. I do like some of his work because of the strangeness there is behind the photo. It almost makes you wonder what the artist was doing or thinking when he painted it. Well I have two ideas but I don’t know exactly which one I’m going to use.
First:  I would try to do this by taking a picture of me laying down on something soft so it can have the curves as if you were to lay on a cloud. I would try to take a picture of a plane and I don’t know if it would be above or below the clouds. Afterwards I would try to take a picture of a clock or find a picture if I can’t take one and try to make it into a shape of a star and make it look like is a shooting star.
Second: My second idea has something similar with using the clouds but the clouds will be above everything. I would try to take a picture of someone or me pointing but like laying down try to get something below. The clocks will be in the bottom on different parts of the ground. I would try to make something melting or stretch.

Surrealistic Artists

Georgio de Chirico was born July 10, 1888 in Vólos, Greece. He died on November 19, 1978 in Rome, Italy. He was an Italian painter who was one of the many who founded the style of Metaphysical painting. He studied art in Athens and Florence but later on he moved to Germany in 1906 and entered the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. He gained the admirations of Pablo Picasso and Guillaume Apollinaire with the ambiguously ominous scenes of deserted piazzas. In 1915 he was drafted into the Italian army that was stationed in Ferrara, Italy. Later on he was admitted to a military hospital due to nervousness where he met Carlo Carr. Later on his Metaphysical paintings exercised a profound influence on the painters of the Surrealist movement in the 1920s.

Title of Artwork The Great Game 
Date of Work: In the year of 1971

Description:  There are a bunch of stick like rods lots of swirls in the sticks, triangles also statues a tower with smoke rising from it a flag shadows an unknown shadow in the right side diffrent colors but there all somewhat dark. 
Analysis:The balence is great the diffrent colors are what i think makes it intresting. The shadows also make the picture intresting especially the one that have no explanation of the shadow. Everything is fit in a nice and not a mess.

Interpretation:It looks to me like there are just two men meeting up discussing something but in secret but someone is watching them from a distant.
Judgment: It looks weird to me and sad because of all the dark colors it has that mystery feeling because you dont know whos shadow is there or not. 

Man Ray was born in August 27, 1890 in Philadelphia, PA. He died November 18, 1976 in Paris, France. He was a photographer, painter and also a filmmaker. He was the only American to play a major role in both the Dada and Surrealist movements. He grew up in New York where he studied art, architecture, and engineering but after all the studying he became a painter. In 1915 Man Ray met French artist Marcel Duchamp and they collaborated many inventions. In 1921 Man Ray moved to Paris. He experimented on the technique called solarization which made half the photo negative and the other half positive. At one point he also pursued fashion and portrait photography. In 1940 he avoided the German occupation of Paris by moving to Los Angeles and returned in 1946 where he kept experimenting and painting until his death.

Childhood Recreation

I choose this photo to recreate because i thought it looked cute and i am still really close to my mother.

Where I rather be

In this picture of the where i rather be i took a picture of myself all in black to try to create the serious mood and a picture of the Ghost Hunter crew. The reason i choose The Ghost Hunters for where i rather be is that I watch their show all the time and i like the fact of going ghost hunting i find it really cool. I had trouble trying to get the softness and the color right so that is why my picture is some what darker then the other.

Partner portrait

This is my partner portrait. There is a meaning behind this picture for me it simply says people will step all over you during high school if you let them. I did have trouble with the lighting for the lockers and some shadows but over all i think this is a good picture. 

David Hockney Inspired Collage

I took the picture of my mother when she looked all natural and no make up and kind of grouchy because she had just woken up.For the second picture i choose a church with a cementary surrounding i took pictures from diffrent angles which is why you see the darkness of some trees.
