Surrealist Collage

Directions-
Google Image Search Surrealist Collage
Find a couple that you like, and mentally plan out how you want your collage to look and try to think of a theme.

This example depicts a surreal collage in the theme of Alice in Wonder Land.

We will be creating a collage.  A collage is a technique of an art production, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole.

Today I would like for you to find and save:
1 BACKGROUND IMAGE
7 OBJECTS/THING/PEOPLE

Next delete all the background around the objects.  Use the marquee tool, quick selection tool, magic wand tool, or the magnetic lasso tool. ( I will demonstrate.)

*TIP- Remember you can hold down the alt or the ctrl key while you click to either subtract or add to you selections.
