Surrealism Project

I chose to do this for my project because this is an ongoing problem today. The idea was that there are hurdles and life, and even though they are going to be hard, you can get over them. In the beginning, you are getting teased and called names, and you think that it’s never going to end and that it’s going to go on and on. You realize that they’re just names, you can overcome them and with new name, you’ll get stronger not weaker. After you overcome these hurdles you can jump into a new chapter in your life and still be strong in the end. Focus on what you are, and not what everyone else says you are.

Surrealistic

For my surrealistic photograph, I’m going to do me jumping over hurdles. The hurdles are going to symbolize my life. Being I’m in track and my event is hurdles, I figured that this would be a good picture to do.
-I’m going to have all different view of the hurdles and me symbolizing the stages of life. I’ll be jumping over the hurdles, in the beginning and that’s all they’ll be are hurdles, then later on as I go through them, they’ll become objects, and sayings and people. The hurdles that are everything but ,will symbolize the struggle I’ve been through in life and me jumping over them is me conquering the hard times in life and moving on. At the end of the hurdles will be a finsish line, this is me saying that I can get through the rough patches of life, and that i'll be fine when they end.

Title of Artwork: With All My Lies

Date of Work: December 16, 2010

Description: A person stands in the dark holding two different faces one on top of the other , hiding who they really are . They are constantly changing themselves.

Interpretation: Although a simple picture, this picture says so much. To me, it's saying that this person is hiding who they really are with someone they maybe wish to be. They want to be someone they're not.
Judgement: Over all I think this picture is very successful in the fact that with one shot, he captured many different emotions.

Analysis: The lighting in the photo is what makes it. With the contrast from dark to light, it puts all your focous on the many faces of the person.

Title of Artwork: Here It Stope For Most Of Us.

Description: People follow what the world has set for you, they stop when they're told to. When it's your time, where ever you are, is where it stops.

Inerpretation: My interpretation of this picture is that, this man has lived his life, he lived it doing what he loves, riding his bike. His time has come where he cannot ride anymore. His time is up, it's time for him to go.

Judgment: Overall, this picture was successful.

Analysis: This piece is very detailed and you can tell he's going down a bumpy road, the detail in the road is cracked and he's upset because the sign says no bikes. The emotion in this picture is clear because the clouds cast a dark shadow over the image.

Shadows.

Just by flipping this picture it changed the feeling of it. Originally it was just a girl walking down the road, hands swinging next to her. After flipping it, now it looks like a girl walking away holding her face crying. Her hair gives you the illusion of arms. In reality, her arms are by her side and her hair sits on her shoulders.

Hockney

I chose these pictures to do for Hockney project because, for the landscape I love the way it came out because everything falls together the way that I pictured it. For the portrait I chose this picture because it was a simple picture, and there wasn't a lot going on in the background.
