Surrealism
Surrealism definition:
a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images.
Artist: Rene Magritte
Surrealism is a peice of art work that isn’t real and shows something that can not happen. It something you would see in a dream. Surrealism shows what you unconsious mind sees, your unconsious mind also conrols your dreams. They use the same concept, in your dream its scenarios that are not bound too reality. And the creativity for these peices of art are made by people who can use the mental activites just below the threshold of your mind called your subconsious and turn it intp a picture or painting.
This painting uses surrealism in multiple ways. Just look at the man’s hat, you can see that it is not a normal hat. The “top hat” he is wearing serves as a cage for two birds. And when i look at the painting i can also see that he does not have a face, it is cut out by another face. But the face cutting out his is made from the sky and not another persons.
This is my picture I edited for this surrealism assignment.

This is my shadow photo from the internet. I notice how the shadows fall onto her face. I am also noticing that not only is there contrast with the shadows, but the light enhances her features. The lines of the shadows also create depth on her face. I also noticed on the photograph is close up so that means all the details of the shadows are very precise. The light shining through is very bright creating highlights near the shadows. And I can see from how precise the shadows are that she is close by whatever is creating them. And whatever is creating the shadows is long enough to cover both her neck and face. The girls features in the photos are also already very prominant so the light creating highlights makes her look very beautiful. And lastly I noticed that the light shining through is probably a suset of some sorts by the way her eyes glow from the light.

This is a picture of a water fall in the forest. I like how the photo shows the nature around the water. I also like how the photo shows lighting and shadows. I apppreciate how the photographer also got mountains, cliffs and other wilderness. I also noticed how the photographer didn’t get the top of the the trees, it makes the picture look ore full. I also like how the water has an orange tone along with a green tone because of the reflection from the trees. I love how the photo isn’t too dark or too light. I also like how it has depth and it’s not just one thing. The photo is also appealing to me because it is just a beautiful sight to see in general. That is why I like this photo and all its aspects.
What I learned about camera exposure
I learned that there are 3 settings in a digital camera, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed. Aperture controls how much light can enter your camera and effects depth of field. ISO speed controls your camera’s sensitivity to light and image noise. Shutter speed is the duration of exposure, basically how long the lens is open for the picture and motion blur. Shutter speed is measured in fractions of a second such as 1/1000 of a second. Aperture settings are specified in terms of a f-stop value such as f/1.0. ISO speed is referred to as a number the bigger the number, the more image noise there is, common speeds include 100, 200, 400, and 800. There is also 6 standardized exposure modes, auto, program, aperture priority, shutter priority, manual, and bulb.
