Free Response Warm Up #47

Copyright © 1976 Jerry Uelsmann

Agenda Digital Photography• Free Response Warm Up• More examples of Surrealist Photography• Work on Surrealist Photographic Image Project

– Here are some things to remember for this project:• Every image you use must be your own!• In Photoshop, use layers and layer masks and make sure to

save as a PSD file.• The finished product should be aesthetically pleasing.• The finished product should be like a dream that we want

to interpret (something deeper than just a “trippy” image).

Surrealism Cliches to Avoid(For some reason we see heaps of these)

• Angel–Devil characters (Warner Bros. covered this)

• Clocks – (Salvador Dali wants his device back)

• Floating or Shrinking person for no reason.

• Anything directly or indirectly referenced to

Alice in Wonderland or Through the Looking Glass
