For my artistic research I chose to look at a piece done by a famous Spanish artist named Salvador Dali. His work is prominent for being weird and full of concept, one example of his work is this one which is showing a clock melting away in the sea on the bottom right corner. There is a sharp contrast between the blue sky and the edge of the brown cube and between the clock and the other edge of the cube which makes the photo look very influential. The artists has used a wide range of colours depending on what object he has chose to paint in the picture, making it look very professional and to catch the viewers eye, the artist has made the objects very eye catching by using bright and dull colours such as gold for the clock which catches the viewers attention first before noticing the sea and that the cloth is melting. In my opinion this picture is uncanny because it looks very realistic like it's a dream. Personally I don't like the idea of Salvador Dali painting pictures that people have unconscious thoughts of, I think it is very improper and unethical.

Form-This means looking at the formal elements of an artwork.
In this picture, Rene has used a maximum of three colors to keep the picture simple but effective. He has used light blue for the sky, dark green for the grass, white for the outline of the newspaper and black for the body of the man.In my opinion I think the artist has done this to show the contract between all four colors in the picture. The artist has used oil paint or acrylic paint to create the picture as what it is. The colours used shows how the artist has wanted to show different perspectives of the image; some as good and some as bad. |

I like this because the camera focus on the branch and the ghost is unfocused in the background which makes it look more terrifying but realistic. However the photo would have been better if the ghost was a bit more visible for example in the center.

I don't like this picture because you can see the hidden figure which is not supposed to be seen. This makes the Photoshop much more difficult and harder. I think the figure should have been hidden so I could have hidden the chair so it looked like levitation has been taken place.

I like this because it shows the model's arms and lags surrounding the tree making it seem lie its the tree who has the arms and legs. This can look like a professional picture after Photoshop has been used to define the picture more.

I don't like this because there isn't really anything to see in this expect two pair of fingers and a mirror and hardly a body holding the mirror. I think if this picture was to be worked with Photoshop it still would be quite useless because of the picture itself.
