Erwin Wurm
Here are a selection of my favourite Absurd pieces by Erwin warm,All of these images are taken with an plain background to make the viewer notice the point within the image,The image of the boy with pegs over his face is a portrait taken photograph the photo was taken for the point to show that obviously having pegs and wire over your face isn't normal and the image shows him being in pain to show that the pegs being on his face are hurting him which is a good way to show absurd easily because no one puts pegs on their face for the fact that it would hurt you and the fact that pegs also are not made for putting on to your face This is wheat makes there image Absurd.Another good example of Absurd out of this selection of images is the image of the boy with the chair over his arms and face,This is a good example because chair are made to be sat on and not for putting over your face .

This would be my favourite image out of the selection of images i have chose because it's a portrait but made to be absurd by the way that the woman isn't facing the camera as she has her back to the camera while she stars to the wall , This image is also quite a doll photograph but the woman has a bright yellow bucket on her head while she sits in a chair steering at the wall.I also like this image for the fact that the first thing you concentrate on is the yellow bucket on the womans head as the other colours are quite doll because they are grey white and black coloured apart from the bright yellow bucket.
Class work of absurd
Here is the selection of images i took of absurd in school,As my first attempt on trying it around school.I reason that only a few of these photos had been successful and others may not have been. My favourite image out of these photos would be the photo of the wizard hat on the models face because the photo has a plan white background so the photo is focused on the fact that the wizard hat is on my models face and not on his head.If i could change anything in these images

Absurd homework
Here are 8 photos of absurd out side of school that i attempted to do i think that only a few of them went well such as the bottom ones with the bag on my models head and the shoes on the models hands , models face covered up with jumper on inside out and lastly the inside out jumper with the bucket on the models head are the main ones that went well as they have a plain background which makes the photo concentrate mainly on the actually point of the image which is objects being used in unusual ways in them images.i quite like the photo with the bag on the models head as it goes well with the background of the photo and how its a good example of absurd.The images that did work well in this selection would be the last 4 of the images of the girl because they are basic examples of absurd and they go together really well then the other 4 images.

Absurd signs
This is an Absurd sign that i made in class,An absurd sign are signs that are made to be make no sense,Just like the sign i made in this image where it says on the bin garbage only no trash where garbage and trash are both the same thing. I think that my image would of been better if it had more of an blank background as in this image you can see a ping pong table, a tree right behind the bin and the school building behind all them objects maybe if i took the image with that sign just in front of a wall i might like the image more ?.

absurd signs
Here are two more images i have done in school with the absurd signs I'm not sure if i like these two photos as they are not what i planed on doing and i wanted to make an actual sign with text inside the image.I like the water bottle image because of the plain background,I like what my signs say although it is the fact i don't like what i used for the sign.These signs didn't work as well as i liked too , to make these absurd signs better i could of changed the location of where i took these images and i could of printed out my own sign to make the photo more legit, also if i made the sign a proper sign i could for the image of the door you would be able to see the writing a lot clearer on the door so you could read it easier,The main thing i struggled with this was to think of my own signs instead of copying other artists signs.

Martin kollar absurd imagery.
|
Martin kollar ,Is a cinematographer he works with documentaries and films,Although Martin has a unique perspective too his life and done a Absurd gallery of images,This images are really good photos of Absurd as like the photo of the crashed truck and then to your right of the image you have a man in his underwear looking at the trees next to him, which is a everyday situation then transformed into something that just isn't normal about that situation at all,But what made him choose to do that in the image why did he use a man in his underwear looking at the trees?Maybe it was to make the situation thats something quite serious then into something quite funny?Also ignoring the fact of what is going on with in the photo it still is quite a plain photo that hasn't got much going on in the image with an plain background of greenery.

Duane michals
This image is a taken by an artist called Duane Michals he uses photoshop within his photography just like this image i have chosen as you can see this images is a photo of an woman holding up a mirror but the reflection of the woman has been blurred and double reflection on the mirror so there is too reflection on the one mirror of the woman to do this Duane has used photoshop in his image so this is a good example of photoshop used in absurd imagery.

Absurd photoshop
Here in this image i took a range of two images the first image was a photo of the boy in this photo lying on the floor in the stance that he is in now, The second image was just the same photo without the boy in the photo, I took both of these images and put them together in photoshop,what i did was cropped the boys body into the second image and moved his body up the pole to make it look as if he is walking up the pole.I enjoyed making the image and may take some more in the future as i now feel more confident to use photoshop in my work.I made sure that i took with a plain background so you can concentrate on the actual point of the image.

forced perspective
Forced perspective is a photo using optical illusion to make an image look further,closer,larger or smaller then what it really is.these technique is used often in photography,film making and architecture.This selection of images are taken by using forced perspective, These are good examples of forced perspective as they clear show the use of forced perspective,Such as the image of the coffee cup with the statue of liberty on the cup just above a photo of the actual statue of liberty to make them look as if they are joined together i might create some of my own forced perspective images in the future with this topic.

This photo was used by making photo shop i used two images to create the one image, Firstly i took an image of my friend how he is in the image without the floating wizard hat in the photo, I then took an image of him holding the hat in the air using the stick to make it look as if it is floating i then photo shopped the floating hat image in photo shop and cropped it out and stuck it into the original image to make the hat floating above his head to make him look like his using his staff (bambo stick) to make the hat float.
This photo was also edited using photoshop,Firstly i took a photo of my friend on a bench doing a 'super hero' pose after i then took a photo of the sky and i edited them together and took my friends body and put him in the air i had to shrink him and slim it a little for it to fit together properly, After i did this i then got a red cape of google and photoshoped that to his body. I found doing this was quite enjoyable and easy to follow the simple steps of doing this image.Although i enjoyed making tho photo i didn't think that it went well because the cape doesn't connect to the body of my friend and his body doesn't look normal.
In this image i got a photo of a shark of google and took a photo of my friend hanging from a chair with a scared face expression, Editing this image was really easy and entertaining to do so, Using photoshop for this image was really easy, I like this image because it goes with the actual image of the shark and my friends face looking like his trying to get out of the sharks mouth.
In this image i took a photo of my friends face and dublicated a photo of his face 3 more times to give a continous image, I saw an image in this way on pinterests which is what gave me the idea to try to make this image , I like this image because it isn't a natural image and was quite easy to make i like the fact i took this image with a plain background to make you capable of looking at the image properly.
This photo was made while using photoshop again but used differently to how i did my first 3 images this image is used my taking a portrait of my friends highlighting the outline of his head and taking a picture of a brick wall then using the outline of his head i got the outline for the brick wall and replaced his face for the picture of the brick wall, Crafting this image was a really easy step to follow, I enjoyed creating this image as a one because its Absurd and i never made an image using photoshop like the image i used in this photo.Next time i make an image like this i might change the background to black so your can see the brick wall if i was to use another brick wall for my other selection on images like this in the future.
With this image i tried to do a remake of the first image i chose to do instead of using a brick wall for the face i used the stairs for the links in the school, This attempt was not as good as the first image i created as the shaping isn't clear and the image is to big to fit my friends head.This image was not so good to make as i found it more difficult getting the shape of the head to fit the stairs into the image.
Again i used photo shop to create this image i took a photo of my friend sitting down on a bench i then took another plain image of the building that my friend is sitting on, This was an easy image to edit into photoshop i did it really quick and i like how the photo turn't out to look like,Although i like this image i created i feel like i could of done something differently with this image like adding something onto the original image of the building but this image was a quick idea so i thought it looks alright and it does.
Final evaluation/4 Final outcome images.
All of my experiments where used using photoshop in this exam, I've chosen 4 of these images for my final piece, To get to my experiments i went onto pinterest to look for ideas to do in this exam. I didn't look at the artists for the photos but i took ideas off them and turned them into my own which i did with most of the images i did in both days for this exam. For all the images i did in this exam i had to use photoshop to get the actual image, Using photoshop for my experiments where rather easy i didn't have a lot of struggle doing this process all i needed to do for most of these images was to get two images together and to crop one of them onto the other it was also a really quick process,I think i could develop a few of these images such as the one of my friend photoshop'd into the air with the red cape to make it look as if he was flying i think i could of size his body more to the image and changed the brightness of the cape and my friend to go with the colour of the sky, I also think i could of edited the last photo i did off my friend sitting on the top of the building as i feel like i rushed this image i should of scaled my friends body of the image properly changed the tone of his body and the colour schemes are two different. I think what i did do well would be the image of my friend getting eaten by the shark because it's wacky and random, Another thing i like about this image is the colours match together, the blue in the school shirt and the water go and the colours mainly stay in the one tone. I also really like the first image in the selection because it was really quick and simple to do so i also like the colour tone from going quite a dark peach colour towards my friend as it then goes brighter highlighting him giving off a misty dark wizard affect which i think works quite well, If there was anything i could of done better in this exam would be to get more experiments but i didn't get the chance to do this as i had to edit all them photos in photo shop and to actually go out and capture the photos on my camera.My favourite image out of these would be wither the one of the outline of my friends face with the brick wall inside of the outline or the image of my friend with the floating wizard hat and the staff because they are the two images that came across to me being the easiest to develop and to think off to make the image. Although i do recon the image of the outline face and shit with the brick wall inside the outline if that image had a plain black background my image would become more clear as the face sinks in with the background so it isn't that clear unless you notice it properly but i did aim to have it all cleared into the wall so i did meet my target with all these images because what i wanted to create happened some better then others. The most difficult image i did created in this exam would be the one of my friends face with 3 more images of his face lapped onto each other i found this most hardest because it was hard to get it right without taking off to much off the images to make it fit together without it looking wrong Although i did find it difficult i did get to where i wanted to with this image eventually.
