LECTURE

Realism : Takes subject matters of the ordinary and common world which we call "reality." It almost always takes a non-exotic and non-extraordinary subject matter and theme. There is no need to think outside of the box, as that is not "real."

Surrealism : A twist on Realism. It explores the subconscious mind, with subject matters concentrating on dream-images and often aims to distort the ordinary and what we call reality.

Digital Surrealism : Surrealism is a cultural movement focused on type of arts to express about the artist’s idea themselves.In this digital era surrealism is one of the top digital art styles.
