Assignment #7: Photography is Art:

The first image/artist I decided to study was Andy Warhol, a famous pop artist. From his pieces I chose to replicate the Shots of Marilyn. Rather than shoot multiple colors I focused on the painting with a teal background.  


Original: Andy Warhol, Shot Marilyns, 1964
My Re-creation, Shot Marilyns, 2016


My other artist I studied was impressionist, Claude Monet. Of his works I chose to re-create his piece, La femme al ombrelle.

Assignment #13: Surreal:

What is the difference between surreal and real? To me, I think that being real is something that is right in front of you, and raw. Whereas when I think of surreal it is unusual and not really possible, except in an imagination setting. What does it mean when someone says: "That's so SURREAL!"? When I hear someone say, "That's so SURREAL!" or just surreal, I think of something sort of weird and out of the ordinary, specifically Salvador Dali's painting of melting clocks, to me surreal automatically makes the subject seem out of sorts and part of the imagination.

At first glance of Magritte's work subjects seem quite normal but then after a minute or so viewers begin to realize that the subject is strange and impossible. Or, in the surreal paintings the ideas make viewers question moti
