LECTURE

During week 9 lecture, we get to learn about digital surrealism, what is it and how to start creating surreal artwork to get ourselves ready for the next project.

Realism: Realism takes subjects matters that are mundane and ordinary. The artworks portrays the subject as it is.

Surrealism: Surrealism focuses on dream-like imagery and often distorts the ordinary subjects. Surrealism is also a movement where an artist create art to express their idea of what the artist themselves are like.

Here is the video I'm referring to:   Due to the differences between my character and the simple character shown here, I decide to improvise certain parts of the animation process.
