STEP 3: Collect all the images that will go into this Composition
I am providing all the images that you will use here. . . .
Click on EACH Image to make it Full Size then:
Right Click on and Save each Image in the Reference Folder.
Note: Each Image has a Name, rename each Image as you save it in the Reference Folder.
Each of these Images has a set of tools & functions you will use to build the final art.
Some of the images look silly here, but once you get into the project, it will make more sense.

STEP 4: Building your Composition
Go to your New Page in Ps that you made earlier.
Type / Click "Control (letter) O" = File > Open
Open the File labeled "Sea+Sky.jpg" . . . that will look something like this:
Type / Click "Control (letter) O" = File > Open
Open the File labeled "Sea+Sky.jpg" . . . that will look something like this:
You will see that the first and only layer that appears is labeled
"Background".
Type: Control "A" = Select All
Type: Control "C" = Copy
Type Control "D" = Deselect
Type Control "W" = Closes the Window
"Background".
Type: Control "A" = Select All
Type: Control "C" = Copy
Type Control "D" = Deselect
Type Control "W" = Closes the Window
Now go back to your Ps Page and . . .
Type: Control "V" = Paste
That image into the page you made.
Notice it doesn't fit perfectly, so we will resize it.
Follow the next Step . . .
Type: Control "T" = Transform
You see there are now all the handles at the sides and corners.
Use the 5-Part Sequence to Re-size the Image:
1: Mouse: Click and Hold (the Top Left Corner)
2: Shift: Click and Hold Shift
3: Pull the Top Left Corner up to the Top Left Corner of the Page

Always Follow the 5-Part Sequence to resize Images!
It may not fit the way you want it to, but it is correctly proportioned and
that's the way it should be.

You can Delete or Trash the Background or you can leave it.
I usually Delete / Trash it.
SAVE YOUR WORK: Control "S" and Save it in the New Folder Named Surrealism Tutorial
This file should be saved as (Your First) NamePsSurrealTutePdX . . .
Direct this File to be saved in the PSD Folder
Now "Open" (Control "O") the Stone Wall

Type: Control "W" = Closes the Window
Paste (Control "V") the Stone Wall Image into the Page.
Pull a Guide from the Top Ruler (Control "R")
and put it at the Height of the Stone Wall in the
Original Picture.
Resize the Stone Wall using the following Sequence:
Control "T" = Handles for "Transformation"
Use the 5-Part Sequence to Resize the Wall,
don't just Squish it
Click / Type "Enter" to accept the Transformation
Now use the Move Tool (V)
(Top Right Tool in the Tool Box)
to Position the Wall as I have here.
Rename the Layer: Stone Wall
SAVE! Control "S"
NOTES:
We are Building the Composition from the Back to the Front.
Notice the Picture shows us that the Sea & Sky are furthest back.
Then the Stone Wall is in Front of that. The Man in the Suit is in Front of that.
And we will be replacing the Hat with the one we chose. And the last thing, closest to the viewer, is the Apple.
In the next few steps, we will use various Tools and Functions to work on each Part of the picture.
You will Select, Copy, Deselect and Paste images into the page as we have already done a couple of times.
STEP 5: Man in the Suit Image:
Terminology / Tools / Functions: Magic Wand, Select Inverse, Marquee Tool, Layer via Copy, Eraser Tool, Right Click, Transform, Flip Horizontal, Merge Down

You are so Awesome - Look what you have Created!
STEP 7: Saving your File as a PSD (Photoshop Document).
You've been saving it as a PSD all along so far
You must save your files as a Photoshop Document in the PSD Folder.
Follow the Step-by-Step below - which has pictures to back up each Step.
STEP 8: Saving your File as a JPEG:
I always send my Clients a JPEG (or JPG) Proof because they are easy to find and see right there in the e mail.
You will send me a JPEG of your work in Photoshop most often.
You cannot make any changes to the JPEG File. It is a Flattened, Low Resolution File with no Layers.
That's why you have to save the PSD first.
Please follow the Sequence / Procedure below to Save your File as a JPG.
With PSD (Layered File) open > Go to "File" at the Top of the Page
Choose "Save As"
In the SURREALISM FOLDER choose the JPG Folder (Click that open)
Under the File Name you'll see the File Type is currently "Photoshop" - Click the word Photoshop and you'll see a list
Look in the list for JPEG (JPG, JPEG etc) - Choose the first one in the group of types of JPEGs
Then Click "Save" - a Quality Window will pop up, Slide the Slider all the way to the right "Max"

After all of the above Saving is done - Send me the JPG in an e mail.
Please, Please, Please ask me if you are unsure of any part of this process.
You are doing an awesome job! Keep up the Amazing work you do!

Replicate a Surrealist Work - WEEK OF 1 / 16 - 1 / 19
Go to your 562
Make a New Folder: Surrealism Replica
Inside that Folder, make 3 more (separate) Folders:
Reference
PSD
JPG
Go onto the FireFox (Internet) and find a Surrealist work of Art
maybe another piece by René Magritte.
You will be replicating this piece as we did the "Son of Man".
Research the Internet and find all the Parts that would work as items in your work.
For each Picture:
Right Click and "Save Image As" into the Reference Folder
Make a New Page in Photoshop:
Control "N" (File > New)
Size: Letter = 8.5 x 11
OR if your Picture is Landscape, then make your Page Landscape (11 x 8.5)
Build the Photo Composition
Step "A" Open (Control "O") the Surrealism Picture (Reference) that you are Replicating
Copy (Control "C") > Deselect (Control "D") > Close the Window (Control "W") > Paste (Control "V")
Now Resize the Picture to fit into 8.5 x 11 (or 11 x 8.5): Control "T"
Click and Hold the Corner of the Frame > Click and Hold Shift
Pull the Image to resize it > FREEZE! > Let go of the Mouse > Let go of Shift
Now you're ready to Build on this Image . . . Follow Step "A" above for each of the "Parts"
to Build the Image
Make it Your own!
As you build the image, be creative, make it something YOU like . . .
If there are round objects in the picture you are replicating,
and you like a sport which uses a ball of some sort,
think about putting that ball into the image somewhere.
It might seem out of place, but then, remember, this is Surrealism!
Use the Steps I gave you in the original Surrealism Tutorial . . .
________________________________________________________________________________________________
Now you will CREATE AN ORIGINAL SURREALIST DESIGN - WEEK OF 1 / 27 - 1/31
Go to your 562
Make a New Folder: Original Surrealism
Inside that Folder, make 3 more (separate) Folders:
Reference
PSD
JPG
1) Decide what your design will look like.
It's a good idea to create your design around a hobby, a sport or something that interests you.
Then go onto the Internet (FireFox) and gather 5 - 7 images that you think you might use.
You will use at least 5 images because you need to have a MINIMUM of 5 Layers in the PSD.
2) Gather the Images and Save them in the Reference Folder
For each Picture: Right Click and "Save Image As" into the Reference Folder.
It helps to rename the images you are saving in the reference folder
so that you know what that image is when you begin to build your design.
3) Make a New Page in Photoshop:
Control "N" (File > New)
Size: Letter = 8.5 x 11 (Portrait) or 11 x 8.5 (Landscape)
4) Build the Photo Composition > DO NOT PLACE PHOTOS . . .
Open (Control "O") the image you want to use first (background)
Copy (Control "C") > Deselect (Control "D") > Close the Window (Control "W") > Paste (Control "V")
To Resize a Picture Click Control "T" (Transform)
Click and Hold the Corner of the Frame > Click and Hold Shift
Pull the Image to resize it > FREEZE! > Let go of the Mouse > Let go of Shift
Follow the above steps starting at number 4 for each of the Images you use in your design.
You are creating an Original Surreal image.
Make sure the image is presentable in a school Art Show.
