Definition & Theory
Digital compositing: is the process of digitally assembling multiple images to make a final image, typically for print.
RAOUL HAUSMANN - "The Art Critic"
This image is of an art critic who is looking angry and frowns upon art and how it expresses emotion. Behind the critics neck is a bank note (money), Raoul wanted this to show how he is controlled by capitalist forces. To some people this may have looked like nonsense as they would have just looked at it and thought nothing of it, but there is reason behind this image.
HANNAH HOCH - "Flucht" (Flight)
This image shows a person with half a monkey face and a bird with a mans face. This image may not have a significant meaning behind it, Hannah Hoch may have just seen something or may have been inspired by something and decided to produce this image.
Composite editing - test
Steps:
1- File, open images that you want (the duck and the bridge - out on two different pages)
2-Use the selection tool and select the background of the duck - inverse - edit - copy
3-Go onto the other layer (page) - command b (pastes duck)
4-command j (layers the image)
5-command t (makes objects larger or smaller)
6-Create mask (square with circle)
7-Brush tool - brush colour has to be black
Research of artist
Jerry Uelsmann was born in Detroit on June 11, 1934. He began teaching photography at the University of Florida in Gainesville in 1960. He became a graduate research professor of art at the university in 1974, and is now retired from teaching. He lives in Gainesville, Florida. His photographs are in the permanent collections of many museums worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Chicago Art Institute and many more.
Jerry Uelsmann uses composite art to make objects look unrealistic. His images are very strange but also interesting to look at, because they are 'out of the box' and are unexpected. The first image is of a boat on the sea, it is as if Jerry has selected a section of the sky and sea, turned it up side down and made it in the shape of a circle to emphasise the change, and composited a boat in the centre. The second image is similar to the first, as he has emphasised a square section of his image - but he has darkened it and has made it look like its floating above the sea by making the square 3D and putting a shadow underneath it. The last image is of a highlighted cloud in the centre of this photograph as if it is blinding. I like all of these ideas and I will definitely be attempting these edits on photoshop.
This is the image I started of with, this was taken towards the entrance of school lane near the greyhound pub. This graffiti has been on this wall for a while and this statement was very appealing to me because it just is very heart warming to whoever looks at it, which is what was intended by the artist behind this graffiti. The first thing I did was use the quick-selection tool and selected the sentence, then I copied what I selected. Next I started using the spot-healing brush tool and started to get rid off the sentence so I can then paste the sentence back on and rotate it. To rotate it I used the keys 'command+T'. After rotating it I turned the filter to black and white, and changed the sliders to the settings I wanted each colour to look like. I then used the burn and dodge tool (did not screenshot) to just brighten up the wall and then darken it more around the words. Next I used the curves tool to just highlight some points in the photograph.
I am pleased with this final outcome as it looks abstract and different to something I would normally produce. This came out how I wanted it too be and it looks appealing to the eye. There is no real meaning behind this image or why I have done this, this idea just came to my mind when I saw this photo and I just did it. I believe I was slightly inspired by Jerry Uelsmann as his work is very abstract and interesting, so I took this concept and made it my own.

"Dada"
An art movement of the European avant-garde in the early 20th century. The Dada movement consisted of artists who rejected the logic, reason, and aestheticism of modern capitalist society, instead expressing nonsense, irrationality, and anti-bourgeois protest in their works. a common story is that the Austrian artist Richard Huelsenbeck plunged a knife at random into a dictionary, where it landed on "dada", a colloquial French term for a hobby horse. Others note that it suggests the first words of a child, evoking a childishness and absurdity that appealed to the group. Still others speculate that the word might have been chosen to evoke a similar meaning (or no meaning at all) in any language, reflecting the movement's internationalism.
