Hockney, Photo Montage

 

Here’s what you need to do…. 1. Watch the presentation on artist David Hockney, go on the Internet and find his work. Really get to know his work. How does he do it? What stories does he tell? What angles/perspectives does he use in his work? 

2. Decide what the subject matter of your collage will be. You will have to shoot 1 portrait (of anyone) and 1 your choice: Landscape, a certain room??? TOTALLY TWO PHOTOGRAPHS

3. Start shooting. Take LOTS of pictures! - these are digital photos so you've got nothing to lose, the more the better. Stand in the same place, get up close, back up, think about your angles, your perspectives. What story will you tell? 




4. The more images you have to work with for this collage the better off you will be. You will layer the images to create your collage.  

5. Create your collage in Macromedia Fireworks following the tutorial given in class. Create a large background canvas to work on. (directions to follow) 

6. Save your final collage with your name as the title in the folder labeled Photo Assignments in our student assignment submit folder. Ex: Smith_Joe_HOCKNEY1

7. Don't forget to SAVE A SMALLER VERSION & POST your assignment onto your blog as well titled "David Hockney Inspired Collage". You need to also add an artist statement. *Step by step by step directions and assignment Rubric can be found in your ASSIGNMENTS folder
