Montage: Activity 4

Activity 4
-Find two examples of photomontages that are either from a commercial source or from a fine art background. Discuss in what context they have been produced and what techniques they share with political photomontages.
-What messages, if any, are communicated through these photomontages and how effective do you think they are? Consider different ways that each image could have been tackled by the artist and come up with an idea for ‘another in the series’.

I like this image a lot because it shows that a swimmer is doing laps on the road. That is highly impossible but it looks so real the way it was edited. The road image looks so nice and the road itself looks like its wet and has rain drops of sorts. It then looks like they edited in a puddle and a part of a swimmer in mid stroke. I think this was well edited. I like this photo a lot and I think its super cool! I think they could add another series with swimmers, swimming in random places but mix it in well together. Or even a walking on water type of thing would be way cool!

This image is way cool because I can tell that there were many layers put this all together. He entered the kids in the image and had them standing or mid coloring. He also had an image of the street while people are driving and walking, etc. Then he entered in images of chalk drawings. I think this is a well edited image and was well though out. I think another series could be put together of kids drawing in random places. Like on the wall of China. You know something on those lines would be way cool.
