Collage Surrealism

In class, we had to make collages and then paint them, and we did this over a longish period of time. While doing the project, I decided that I would create a image that involved some weirder items that you would not think belong like the chase card or the man wearing the blue scarf. But they all added a different shade of blue to my background. By doing that it made the whole background have something in common. The reason I did that was because I imagined a sea with birds in it. So I then added bird on top of all my blue images I had collected

The materials that I used to make this were mainly paints and pencils. I used the pencils to get a basic sketch out on the canvas of my collage. After that I added on thin and rough layers of paint on all of my subjects in the painting then went over the rough coat with a fine and more detail coat of paint.

My favorite thing about this project was making the mountains in the background or makeing the different birds. My favorite bird might be the seagull just because I like how mini it is and how it looks on the whales back.
