Hobbies

While I was taking these photos I was thinking of what kinds of things I do.  After I got all of the things I liked to do and took some pictures of them after organizing them in a unique way, I thought about what interests me...I thought of horses, so of course I took some pictures of them.  This Photo however, I got while taking photos of things that I liked to do (my hobbies).  This includes my sneaker for exercising and playing with my pets, my phone represents music that I listen to, a book since I like to read (I also like the Author on the book), a camera case since I like to take photos, and some food because I enjoy snacks.

David Hockney Self Assessment

The scene we were trying to communicate was the Auditorium.  I think we did a good job of portraying the Auditorium, we made it look like the real Auditorium while making a few changes that make it different and unique.  One thing I learned from this project is how key perspectives are, I have known this but this project really enforced that.  I also learned that the smallest difference in shadows between photos can stand out.  Lastly, I learned that Even though you can take photos of different subjects with the same background, they still have the same kind of “essence” in them.

Creative Portraits

While I was taking this photo, I was thinking about how I could capture the movement along with implementing some interesting portrait techniques along into it.  The portrait technique I used in this photo is: Shoot Candidly.  You can see this because the subject is in action and not posing.

While I was taking this photo, I was thinking of how to use the light to help make this photo look more interesting.  I had the sun in a nice position so I took a few photos hoping to get a good one with it's light.  So, the portrait technique I used in this photo is: Experiment with lighting.  I caught the sun really well in this photo to create a lens flare and pull the attention from the subject to the light.

DAVID HOCKNEY COLLAGES

When did the Cubist Period occur? Who is credited with this style? What are aspects featured of the Cubist Artwork?

    -The Cubist period began in 1907 when Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque began collaborating to create a new and different type of painting that flattened the painting.  That was when the foundation for Cubism started.  In Cubist art, the artist flattens space and uses a variety of color (and/ or compositions) to express his subject in a creative manner along with different types of shapes and colors.


Who is David Hockney? What kind of work does/has he done? What Cubist features do you notice in David Hockney's work? Where and how might he have been influenced by the cubist period?
-David Hockney is one of the founders of Pop Art. After he moved to L.A. he moved away from Pop Art and used a kind of Naturalistic style. I think that there are some resemblances of Cubism in his work with the flat-type style of painting. He took on aspects from the Cubist period but retained his style along with it like what he did with his Pop Art style.
