Feathering

Surreal Collage

My surreal collage shows dancers dancing on a rainbow in the sky and me flying almost like a fairy. I used feathering on some of the dancers to blend them into the rainbow and sky more. I also used juxtaposition to blend the wings into the dancer to make it look like shes flying. Dislocation was also applied, and I changed the opacity. Cameo Appearance in a Famous Work of ArtI first took a picture of me in a scenery that would fit into the painting (walking through a forest on a beautiful fall day). Then, I used my magic wand to cut out the background. Using the clone stamp, I was able to easily soften the edges of the picture and merge it into the painting. By resizing the image and putting it to scale, I made the photo perfectly blend into the painting.

Cameo Appearance in a Movie Scene

I used a scene from the movie Charlie St. Cloud and added my dad, my sister, and I riding on a jet ski in the background. To make it seem more realistic, I used the feathering technique, the blur tool, and clone stamp. The masks really helped blend the images together.Impressionist ResearchImpressionism first started in the 19th century in France, and is characterized by loose brushwork and light colors.Instead of using carefully painted brush stokes, impressionists used a broken colorbrush technique which changed the way paintings looked.It emerged because people wanting a new way of seeing the world through art. Some famous impressionists were Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas.
