Surrealism is a cultural movement that started in the early 1920s that is most commonly know for its visual artworks and writings. The goal was to "resolve the previously contradictory conditions of dream and reality." The art that was created were odd creatures made for everyday objects. Andre Brenton wrote the Surrealist Manifesto to convey how he wanted to combine the conscious and subconscious into a new "absolute reality." It was a way to unfasten power of the imagination.

Project 6-Alternative Process through Digital Means
This project was about using different process to make the photos look like different prints on photos. We used different brushes that we made and that we downloaded onto Photoshop to give each photo a serene look and to make them unique.
Wet Plate
Cyanotype
Gum Bichromate
Project 6-PreWork
Cyanotype
The cyanotype, also known as a blueprint, is considered among the easiest of all the historical methods. Dating from 1842, this classic Prussian blue process is a great place for both beginners and accomplished artists alike to explore. Cyanotypes are economical/ permanent, have few pitfalls, and are versatile in that a variety of toning effects are possible.

Wet Plate
Watplate, or collodion process dates from 1851 through the work of Frederick Archer. A glass plate is coated with cellulose nitrate, an iodide, and silver nitrate. The plate is then exposed and processed while still wet. The tintype is a version of wetplate which utilizes a sheet of black painted metal.
