Every artist can be considered a magician. As the remix video below explains, the magician (or in this case, the artist) presents you with something ordinary. The trick is to change that ordinary something into something extraordinary. Whether it be in the form of a painting, sculpture, song, or digital art piece, artwork can amaze an audience the same way a magic trick would. How did the artist do it? What’s the secret?

The thing is, you’re not really looking for the secret. Most people don’t mind enough to investigate the creative process surrounding a particular art piece; that’s what makes it so beautiful and awe-inspiring. Pictured below are my two remixed art pieces, each comprised of three or more sources (the appropriate sources are listed below each image). Think of each piece as a magic trick. How realistic does it look? Could one mistake it for reality?

Sick video! I can see the effects that artists put on their pictures o make it seem realistic. Your pictures were great examples!
