Surrealism: "Tye -Dye"

Well first of all you can really tell that you have been enjoying life as it is supposed to be. All of these symbols and colors can tell me very much about you life and inner feelings. The closed water bottle means that you are staring a very new chapter in your life that is spotless clean .The door well that’s something that is very interesting because it’s kind of dark but at the same time it has some weird colors on it. The door means that some one person like is trying to haunt you but your energy is way stronger so that is why the door has some color added to it. The water Oh!...The water it is so clean and full of life meaning that you are a very creative person with an awesome life. ....Also the leaves in the back that you tell me that are full of color mean that in your family history was extremely similar to you, maybe even looked and thought like you. Water drops in your dream clearly show well that there is some thing bothering you that you are trying to hide. Maybe sadness, sorrow or just hate towards that some one that you know.. Because you just being there alone is not always a good thing that means that ….that someone is getting in your way to meeting new people in life. Any way this dream is mostly positive but if you get rid of those people in your way you are more than likely to be a very happy camper all of your life. And thanks for stopping by for another of my wonderful interpretations.

Surreal Practice Tutorials

We prepared for our surreal project by practicing different techniques we may want to use in our projects. In this tutorial we learned the value of layering textures using blending options to create an atmosphere with dream like qualities.(http://www.photoshop-garden.com/view_tut.php?id=76Credit: Stock: hbrush.com Texture: moonchilde-stock.deviantart.com, 99mockingbirds.chanlu.orgText brush: shyndel.deviantart.com)

One thing that I learned with this tutorial was how to overlay the layers in very awesome ways and I liked that it made such a very cool effect and it made it way better than just adjusting the colors. I also like that it gave it that antique look.

We then followed this tutorial found at http://www.voidix.com/eye_manipulation.html to give us ideas and practice combining images, reversing natural laws, transforming objects and using Photoshop to create a realistic surrealistic scene.

One thing that I really liked was the overlay of the image that is reflected inside of the eye. one thing that I learned was how to use the dodge tool to make a very cool shadow.
