Hockney Style Joiners

Shooting Film: "joiners"

Hi everyone! This time I will be talking about David Hockney. If you don't know who David Hockney is, I will tell you. David Hockney is a famous photographer, painter, and more. A few facts about him are. He was born on July 9 1937, he is 78, and was born in Bridlington, United Kingdom. Hockney does a type of photography called photomontages. Now I will tell you how his photomontages are different from mine.

 One reason why his photomontages are different from mine is we take pictures of different things. He usually does people and I like to do people, but also nature, and more. The photo aboveis a self portrait of himself. That is an example of a photomontage. One other difference is since he is so experienced, his are better quality. I just started doing photomontages, so mine are not as good, but I am working on it!


My final photomontage of Star Wars movies one, two, and three.

                                                                                               

One example of how images can send of positive or negative messages, is with lighting and shadow. For example, people can feel certain ways, depending on the shadows, if the picture is dark, or if the picture is filled with light. You can experience strong moods from just looking at a picture. Another example is the subject. If your subject is a positive thing, you could instantly feel positive or happy. However, if the subject is a negative thing, you could feel negative. One more thing is you. Certain people feel certain moods for different things. I you happen to love a certain thing, then looking at a picture of it will make you feel positive. Also, if you happen to dislike something than you would get negative messages from it.

With my final photomontage, I wanted you to get a sense of me. I wanted you to know that my subject was meaningful to me. My subject was the Star Wars movies. This subject is meaningful to me because my dad grew up loving Star Wars and he passed down that love to me. Star Wars is now a part of my life. I love it, and I always will, no matter what. They are my favorite movies, and in my opinion, they are awesome.

Well, thats all for now. See you next time! Bye!
