Surreal PhotomontageCombining photos together
What does Surreal Mean?
• Element of surprise, unexpected juxtapositions.
• Began around 1920’s• Dream like• Salvador Dali, Painter
The paintings of Rene Magritte
• Show us a world that cannot physically exist in real space, yet do exist in the two dimensional visual space of his work.
1. The work should combine 2 to 5 images into a single image.
2. Should access the surreal, things that can only happen in a subconscious reality.
3. How can you show us the magic of photography to transform reality into dream? Create something that appears real, but yet surely cannot be...
