Landscapes

This assignment was the landscape assignment. We first were supposed to make an image in Corel Painter. Then we had to take that picture and Auto Van Gogh it. Then we had to take the image and make it more painterly. We then had to make a more surrealist image in Photoshop. In the Photoshop image, the bottom one, the river was originally melted chocolate, the grass and hills were shag carpet, the sky was an opal, and clouds were cotton candy, and the trees were pineapples. With this assignment, I learned how to use various tools in Corel Painter like the Water Rake and the Airbrush. In Photoshop, I learned how to use different types of filters. I also learned how to adjust the hue, saturation, and darkness of images. Additionally, I learned how to use the liquefy tool. The hardest part of this project was making the look realistic. During this assignment I learned about such artists as Vincent Van Gogh and Salvador Dali. The main movement that we learned about was Surrealism. We also learned about creating a foreground, middle ground, and background. What I really liked about this assignment was messing around with colors, filters, and blending tools.
