These are the photos that I took that I would like to experiment with, to make my final art piece. I could really experiment and change these photos to artwork, with the same idea as Rene Magritte. I decided to take other photos of and use them instead of the ones in the playground. My original plan was to use acrylic paint and paint the image but after speaking to Mr. Keys I changed from painting to using photoshop for the images and to create the same illusion as Rene Magritte. I experimented with many images and tools that would create an illusion to the viewer and make them confused with all the negative space.
Reflection:
After speaking to Mr.Keys, I decided to not use the photos that I took in the playground and instead take photos of students in areas in the school where there are objects so I can manipulate them. I took an image of Rimjhim behind and in front of a pole, and I made illusions on the pole to make it confusing to the viewer. It was easier to manipulate the images here because the is less complicated than the images in the playground, as there isn't much going on.

Commentary:
My work has a similar idea to Rene Magritte, as Rene Magritte uses the concept of negative space and the illusion and the mind has to put together the elements of the image in order for it to make sense. It also has the focal point on the poles as Rene had his focal point on the trees and the woman as he used it on the horse. I also tried to use bright colors by incorporating the sky. The illusion of the poles are like the illusions of the trees the Rene Magritte uses: it makes the mind think is this object behind or infant the woman. The sky behind the woman also makes the mind think is this woman flying in the sky or is she on the ground? It makes the viewer confused and think hard to interpret and put the pieces together of the image. It's also surreal - its something that can be seen in dreams, and dreams don't obey normal laws the world. The pole that is going through the woman horizontally is going on top of her, then behind her then on the sky. The same for the pole going on her vertically on her head. When the viewer is looking at this image I want then to be puzzled by the objects that are in front and behind her and the sky and the stairs on the ground.
Rene Magritte image distorts space by having parts of the horse missing, this has interfered with our perception of pictorial space. As well as that, the rider and the horse are 'impossibly' positioned in the image in relation of the trees in the background. He created the illusion of believable space and depth in the positions of the trees in the forest - since the forest is huge and can go on forever, but at the same time making it 'impossible' in terms of the horse and rider. There is the illusion of what is behind and what is in-front, and there are gaps where there should be parts of the horse and the rider showing. The painting is painted realistically, but at the same time it looks fake, not real and only possible to be seen in dreams. I have done all the above in my own pictorial image by having: pipes in front and behind the person, placing it 'impossibly' in the sky and the ground, the space and the depth is believable, it is realistic but is also something that came be viewed in dreams. Also, having the sky and stairs, makes it go on forever and never end. It this way, like Magritte's, my image could be considered Surrealist.
