1. What is Surrealism: surrealism is literature and movement put together to create an image to express the artistic values of the 20th century.

2. Show 3 examples of Surrealist art (listing the artist’s name): the first one ( the butterfly) is by Vladimir Kush ,Moonlight Sonata, the second one is from Artsgrie, Panic Attack Or Anxiety. And the third one is from Chris O' Doherty, Large Egg Resting Softly

3. Pick one Surrealist artist and briefly discuss their view on surrealism: I pick Artsgrie because i like the concept about the train trying to escape the waves in the desert, its kind of random but it creates a good picture. I thought there view on this peice of art was different yet satisfying to the audience.

4. Find two examples of Surrealism in modern day photography using Photoshop (or…perhaps not using Photoshop) (list the photographer and explain if you can, how it was done): I chose Oliver Cereto because i like his picture. He used photoshop for this picture the steps he used were, at first he placed the sky and the background, although he used different colours that you don't really see in the sky, and so that creates some of the surrealism with the balcance tool. And then he duplicated the sky and repeated the previous steps. after that he erased some of the "useless details" and in the option bar he selected the blur brush to blur the sky. After that the "model" was incorporated he used the selection tool and clicked on the " add layer mask" button. He position the model in the middle of the page and by pressing the " image adjustment" he starts to play around with the models dress colors and her hair color to come together with the background. And through the hole photoshop tutorial he is basically just adjusting the models dress and background colours. And after all that he just finds some images from a website and puts them on the picture he is creating, he then deforms the branches and makes them apart of her body


And then you got a man named:Jeffrey Michael Harp,he created a picture with this woman's face coming off her head. When i was looking at his picture he said nothing about using photoshop...so i don't know if he did or not.
