I am working on combining photos together to be able to alter a landscape in order to make it look realistic. This will allow for me to use photoshop to create collages and combine photos to make a new work of art.
I drew inspiration from...
I drew inspiration from the book and movie, Alice in Wonderland. I wanted to create something that was majestic and unrealistic. That is because when we are young kids, we dream of this fantasy land that we want to live in. So, I was able to take inspiration from what I pictured my fantasy land and with the help of Alice in Wonderland in mind, I was able to create this art piece.

I started my project by first figuring out what skills I would need in order to be successful with the project (finding a tutorial on adding a dreamy effect), then I found the pictures that would work well with my theme (childhood memories) and used photoshop to bring my piece together.
I needed to use...
I needed to use photoshop in order to create a dreamy effect of the woods to make the image look more fantasy-like and I also used the basic tools that photoshop provides to be able to cut out images.
I had to make sure that...
I had to make sure that all the images I used worked well with one another and one image didn't distract from another.
If I could change something...
If I could change something, I would add different colored birds because the birds disappeared in the background and it is difficult to see them. Also, I realized that the pictures that I had chosen were not high resolution pictures. You can clearly see the pixilation of the picture which I kind of frustrating, but it still turned out alright.
I am proud of...
I am proud of the overall look. That is because I started the project over at least five times since I never could find a set up that looked well. I was able to piece together these images to create a surreal landscape that relates to childhood memories.
