Hockney Style Joiners

Hello so for the first semester of our school year we have been working on our video skills. And now that we started our second semester we started to work on photography and photo editing. Our first project is creating photo montages that are inspired by David Hockney

David Hockney is 78 years old and lives in the UK. He is very famous for his photomontages such as various ones he has created of his mother. Hockney's Photomontages are amazing works of art and show a lot of creativity. The difference between my photomontages is that his are kind of old and rustic looking, while mine are kind of bright and almost look fake because they have such a pop of color! I just feel that his aren't really very happy because they just look kind of dull and dark, In my opinion, this actually gives the photos a pretty cool look. My photomontages that I have created so far are pretty bright and colorful because personally I like that kind of pop look. Overall I really like the look of both his and my styles of photomontages.

Images can be shared through a variety of social media and other sites. Some of them may be very positive and others can be negative. Images can send positive messages if they are inspirational photos. They can also be positive if the photo is of something that makes people happy. Negative images could be of something that people either don't want to see or is inappropriate. Negative messages could also be images that targets  yourself or others as bad people. Overall, I think that we should really try out best to take photos that send a positive message to the people that will be viewing it.

For our class, three photomontages were required. One was a practice photomontage which we made from the doorknob photo we took, the next one was of one of our classmates, and the last one was a final where we were supposed to take at least 25 photos of something that we either enjoy doing or is special to us. For my final photomontage, I decided to take photos of a basketball court since I really enjoy playing basketball and basketball is special to me. The message I was trying to send was basically to try to get my audience to see that I like playing basketball and it means a lot to me. I was also trying to get the message that I go and play basketball every morning and that I'm trying my best to get better.
