Week 9 (18/10/2021) Digital Surrealism
Realism - The reality, consists of subject matters and placed into a world where it is considered ordinary/normal. To think outside of the box may result in a (realism) piece to not be 'real.'

Surrealism - Surrealism is a cultural movement that focuses on arts that express about the artist's idea themselves. A twist on reality, explores the subconscious mind and the imagination. Subject matters concentrating on dream-images, distorts the ordinary and is not considered to be 'real.' Is filled with strange images and bizarre juxtapositions.

Surrealism 101;
  • Dream-like scenes and symbolic images
  • Unexpected, illogical juxtapositions
  • Bizarre collection of ordinary objects
  • Primitive or child-like designs.

To capture your dream;

Things to keep in mind;
  • "Does this look real?"
    • Surrealism is at its best when it's convincing that it could be real. 
  • Make it happen to the best of your ability
    • Do not be afraid to learn, and do not be afraid of your own ideas. 

PRACTICAL

Week 9 (18/10/2021)
After receiving feedback, I made changes to the poster and produced the Final Poster

Fig 2.1 ; Final Poster (18/10/2021)

The different types of clocks is a metaphor to represent the different ways of healing. Jasmine flowers are used to represent peace and calmness, to lower anxiety levels. This poster is meant to speak on the topic of healing, and taking things the way you want to, solving problems the way you find most comfortable, and not living your life and making decisions based on the jurisdiction of others.
