Mod lit photorealism pp
Photorealism is a type of painting made to look like a photograph using extreme detail. It emerged in the 1960s-70s as a reaction to abstract expressionism. Photorealist painters carefully studied photographs through a gridding process to recreate scenes with hyperrealistic precision, often depicting urban or mundane subjects. Major photorealists included Chuck Close, known for his large-scale portraits; Richard Estes, who painted urban landscapes quickly; and Ralph Goings, who precisely recreated scenes from a single photo to find beauty in the ordinary. Sculptor Duane Hanson also created extremely realistic sculptures of everyday people.

Impressionism slides1
Impression Sunrise from the 1874 Impressionist Show was one of Claude Monet's paintings in his series studying the effects of light and atmosphere on the Cathedral of Rouen at different times of day. In the painting, form and substance vanish as light transforms objects and surfaces into atmospheric spaces. Monet worked outdoors, painting plein air to capture how color was not the property of an object but how light controls color intensity and how it is affected by the time of day and movement of the sun. The painting inadvertently founded the name of Impressionism for the loose, atmospheric style that focused on the effects of light and color.

Impressionist artists felt photography was ruining painting, so they created a new style focusing on capturing sensations rather than accurately rendering subjects. They used short, thick brushstrokes; painted outdoors capturing changing light; and did not blend or smoothly shade colors. Though initially disliked, Impressionism came to be seen as capturing a fresh vision and was influential to later art movements. Major Impressionist artists included Monet, Renoir, Degas, Pissarro, and Sis

Photography Skill - Aperture and Depth of Field
Aperture is the variable opening through which light enters a camera. Depth of field refers to the distance between the nearest and furthest objects that appear in focus in an image. Both aperture and depth of field relate to how light passes through a camera and what parts of a scene will be in focus.

Photoshop Skill - How to Use Layers
Layers were used in Photoshop to combine two scanned images. The Magnetic Lasso tool was used to select part of one image, which was then cut and pasted onto the other image as a new layer. Additional editing included resizing layers, adjusting brightness and contrast, applying filters, and decreasing opacity. Layers allowed elements from multiple images to be combined and edited flexibly to produce a final composite image.
Photography Skill - Cropping
Cropping refers to removing outer parts of an image to improve framing, accentuate subject matter, or change aspect ratios.

Photographer - Man Ray
- 1. Man Ray By Sidtharth Sureshkumar
- 2. Man Ray • Man Ray was a painter, photographer and filmmaker (1890–1976). His parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia. His family moved to Brooklyn when Ray was a young child. When he finished high school in 1908, he followed his passion for art; he studied drawing with Robert Henri at the Ferrer Center, and frequented Alfred Stieglitz's gallery 291. Ray used a similar style, snapping images that provided an unvarnished look at the subject. His experiments with photography included rediscovering how to make "camera-less" pictures, which he called rayographs. These photos were made by placing and manipulating objects on pieces of photosensitive paper. Ray experimented with a technique called the Sabatier effect, or solarization, which adds a silvery, ghostly quality to the image.
