This photoshop image that I created using CS5 photoshop was inspired by the artworks of Patricia Piccinini. Since Patricia Piccinini likes to create genetically modified creatures for her sculptures, I tried to mix up a horse's head and a maggot's body. Also I created 'Flower Nuggets' which was inspired by Patricia Picinini's Car Nuggets.
To start with, I edited the background Image that I took from the city. I rotated the image using rotation-arbitrary tool so it looks like it has taken from the correct angle. Also I adjusted the image by using curves tool which changes the contrast, brightness and saturation. Then I added a lens flare from the filter icon. Lastly I used the gradient tool to make the corners and edges a little bit darker than middle.
For the Image of Horse-maggot, I added two different layers for each images. I used the magic wand tool to copy a part of horse that I need and pasted on to the image of maggot. Then I used the liquify tool from filter to alter the head of horse, as if it is genetically modified.
Lastly for the Flower Nuggets, I used the lasso tool to select the part of flowers that I need. Then I used the liquify tool to make it more like a nugget. After creating the Flower Nugget, I duplicated the layer and re-sized the images, using free transform tool.
I enjoyed this session better than the surrealist landscape task. I could understand the artistic concept of Patricia Piccinini and apply it to my own artwork. One thing that I was disappointed with this task was that I did not have enough time to plan it and create a better photo. If I had another chance to do this task, I would think more carefully about how Patricia Piccinini creates her sculptures. Although I was rushing through the session, I really liked the steps and processes that I had to go through.
