LECTURE


Week 7 : Digital Surrealism

Realism : Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real."

Surrealism : A twist on Realism. It explores the subconscious mind, with subject matters concentrating on dream-images and often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call reality.

Digital Surrealism : Surrealism is a cultural movement focused on type of arts to express about the artist’s idea themselves. In this digital era surrealism is one of the top digital art styles.

Ways to create Surrealism artworks

1. Sketch it out.
  • Take a piece of paper and pen/pencil or a tablet and start to sketch. Draw your vision out roughly. Don't finesse any details yet, but just lay out key points of your vision.
2. Find Reference Image.

  • Gathering reference images will help you greatly in realising your new idea. Gather images that directly relate to what you have in mind.

3. Mindset during creation.
  • "Does this look real ?": Surrealism is at its best when it's convincing enough that it could be real, however we obviously know that the subject matter you are creating is non existent, thus is not real.
  • Make it happen to the best of your ability : When you try to approach something challenging, you will learn the skills you may need for next time to make it work. The worst thing you can do is be afraid and back off from your idea, because you would never learn that way.

2. Summary and sketches about my idea

I plan to combine objects with similar shapes. Below are the items I’ve gathered from my house and the ideas of each group of items:


#1 Toilet roll & mug: I'm considering replacing the traditional cylindrical part of a mug with a toilet roll as both have the shape of cylinder.

#2 Bottom of tofu packaging & luggage: I think both of them will blend seamlessly without any sense of discomfort.

#3 Chocolate bar & eye shadow palette: The eyeshadow palette has the same shape and looks a lot like the chocolate bar.

#4 Biscuit & small table: Inspired by animated movie vibes, I’m turning a biscuit into a small table.

#5 Egg & mouse: I think that the egg has the potential to become the body of the mouse.
