dragging the bar up to limit the color palette and create an
unexpected effect.

continue to represent the surrealistic style.

countless ways to make it different - please do so!

your resources!)

piece of art.

masterpiece.

- IMPORTANT: As you experiment with your images, take notes on each tool
used, describe how you used the tool(s), and explain how the tool(s)
helped you to achieve a particular surrealistic style. DO NOT DISREGARD

you share with the class.
