Ostroff Final

Surrealism

   This is my surrealism project. The strongest technical aspect of my project is the eye. This is the strongest aspect because it's what pulls together the work and makes it surreal. The weakest aspect of my work is in the eye. In the eye I have my mountain earth I made and an astronaut floating in it, but I could've added something more into the background along with it. The easiest part of this project was making the mountain earth in the center. I did this by taking a 360° panorama of a mountain, then made a new document to make the image square, and then flipped it, and finally used the polar coordinates filter to make it appear as an earth. The hardest part of this activity was thinking of what to make. I tried multiple ideas which all failed miserably and it took a while before I found what I wanted to do that worked. I demonstrated the objective by making a surrealism styled work by taking normal everyday things and making them in a dream like state. If I could do this again I would change everything completely and go with a different idea.
