In this project, we'll explore the world of digital art by removing limbs from your photographs using Adobe Photoshop. Inspired by the principles of surrealism, you'll explore the concept of altering reality to create captivating and thought-provoking visual photographs.

Your task is to think of a photograph location that serves as the canvas for your class project. Here's what you'll do:

Choose a Location: Select a captivating location that provides an interesting backdrop for your surreal artwork. Consider elements such as lighting, composition, and atmosphere to enhance the surreal quality of your photograph.
Select Clothing and Props: Carefully choose clothing and props that complement your chosen location and contribute to the overall narrative of your artwork. Experiment with different styles, colors, and textures to add depth and visual interest to your composition.
Plan Extra Objects: Explore the possibility of incorporating extra objects into your photograph to further enhance its surreal appeal. These objects could include symbolic items, unexpected elements that add layers of meaning and intrigue to your artwork.

Once you have your photograph, you'll use Photoshop's powerful tools and techniques to seamlessly remove limbs from the subject, creating a sense of disconnection and intrigue. (Don't worry, this is for any level!).

Throughout the process, feel free to experiment with different editing styles, blending modes, and artistic effects to enhance the surreal quality of your composition. Whether you aim to evoke a sense of wonder, unsettlement, or whimsy, let your creativity guide you as you craft your unique vision.
