Surrealism collage

The subject of my creation is a collage that has a field and a city with mountains in the background and a huge parrot and an eagle flying through it. First I gridded my artwork and drew it out on the canvas paper going square by square. Then I painted the background, foreground then the midground by mixing colors to match the ones on the original collage. I chose to create this because the images I chose where cool and they showed a variety of colors. One elements that is presented in my art is color, which is shown by mixing colors together to create different shades and tints. Another element I used was balance by splitting my work in half and making each side equally distributed.

One composition and technique I showcased In my artwork was high horizon line because the sky and mountains meet the city and field which makes the horizon line. My project evolved because I had to keep layering paint to match the original college but still making sure you can see the variations of colors.

The meaning behind my artwork is that a parrot is flying through the city and an eagle is flying through a field following the path trying to find their way home. My project relates to my life because the birds have to find their way home by using the sign and in life sometimes you have to find your way home. I think my artwork could be stronger by making my colors match the original collage better.
