Surrealist Theme

For my surrealist theme I'm going to have a picture of me opening up my jacket and have another subject inside me. I'm not sure yet what the inside will be, perhaps something that means a lot to me. I will also pick a good background to go with the theme.

Surrealisim

Max Ernst was born April 2^nd, 1891 in Bruhl, German Empire. In 1909 Ernst enrolled in the University of Bonn studying philosophy, art history, literature, psychology and psychiatry. He visited asylums and became fascinated with the art of the mentally ill patients. He also started painting that year, producing sketches in the garden of the Bruhl castle, and portraits of his sister and himself. In 1919, Ernst visited Paul Klee in Munich and studied paintings by Giorgio de Chirico, which deeply impressed him. The same year, inspired partly by de Chirico, he produced his first collages (notably Fiat modes, a portfolio of lithographs), a technique which would come to dominate his artistic pursuits in the years to come.

Erik Johansson was born April of 1985 in Gotene, Sweden. Erik creates surreal images by recombining photographs and other materials. Some finished images are the combination of hundreds of original photographs as well as raw materials. Johansson spends dozens of hours using image manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop to alter the image digitally.

 

 

Artist’s Name: Max Ernst

Title: Ubu Imperator

Date: 1923

Description: Looks like the subject is in the desert. The object has hands and a face to give it human features.

Analysis: It has a very yellow color. Shadow in the back to show that there is light on the subject.

Interpretation: I don’t believe the artwork means anything.

Judgment: I think the color in this artwork is the most fascinating. Also giving the subject human features makes it fun to look at.

Artist’s Name: Erik Johansson

Title: The Architect

Date: 2015

Description: It is a house in the woods. Man at a table trying to figure something out. There is a dog by his side to show loneliness. There are trees and fog in the back.

Analysis: Very clear details. There is a deep low tone in this picture. Mood is very sad. Dim lighting except for the lamp focusing on the subject.

Interpretation: Looks like the artist wanted to show the struggles of life

Judgment: I thought this was very successful. Very clear details and deep meaning

Camera App

Camera Awesome

            The camera app I used is called Camera Awesome. Camera apps are good for people who take picture frequently and want more features than what comes with the iPhone standard camera. Most camera apps focus on a certain feature and improve it for people who use it a lot. Camera Awesome focuses on the focusing in a picture. When you click on the screen the focus window will come up and different options of how you want to focus will come up.

            One feature is to lock on the focus button. This allows you to stay locked on focused while still moving the camera around. This would good for people who take picture while moving either in a vehicle or on a plane. Another feature is auto stabilizer. This allows you to take a picture while moving and the camera app will automatically stabilize the picture for you.

            I did enjoy using this camera app for all its cool features that are not on the camera that comes equipped with the iPhone. I also like how the app is free and lets you use filters to change the color or tone of a photo that was taken. I would recommend this app for people who like taking pictures on their iPhone and want more option and features then what comes with the phone.

In this picture I'm sitting down with my favorite artist Kendrick Lamar. I put my arm around him to show how close our friendship is. I tried to pose the same way as him to show similarity.
