The key to shooting surrealism...
WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Surrealism in Photography
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: Surrealism embraced the absurd, the unconventional, and the shocking. Surrealist principles presented an exciting challenge for photographers – while a painter can pluck from their imagination with brush and paint, a photograph is derived from the real, material world.
HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: You will practice different techniques and gradually show your success!
