My idea for the surreal photo assignment is based on toys. This idea came to me during a class discussion about the Feed the Baby art project. When my boys were smaller they loved playing with Hot Wheels and action figures. I am going to try to shoot toys and kids so that real cars become toys and the kids are the same size as the action figures. A child’s fantasy is to be an action figure and have all the equipment that comes with the GI Joes or the Ghostbusters, isn’t it?
Here is my final Surreal Photo:
I like this idea, since as I child I would imagine scenes when playing with toys and this idea would bring that fantasy to life. It is also a good opportunity to really play with scale, since you are making the toys life-sized.
