Hobbies Elliott

When I took this photo I set my self timer. I set my laptop in the back next to my monitor to give the idea that I really like computers. I just let my self do my own thing. The picture just made itself and I was very happy how it came out.

David Hockney Collage Assessment


We were trying to communicate the courtyard in the center area of the school. We were slightly successful with trying to communicate. We didn’t really connect all of the pictures clearly. I learned to 1. Capture many pictures of one area looking all in a direction. 2. Make the pictures all somewhat align with each other. 3. Turn all of the pictures into a big picture.

Creative Portraits

I was thinking that I need to get an up close background blurred photo. I also needed to get her not looking at the camera. I need to make the picture bigger than it actually is. I was surprised on how good this picture came out.
I was thinking that I need to get a up close blurred background. This time I needed some perspective. So I ended up taking a photo from the back that gave some depth. This photo looks like it she is looking off into the distance. I thought this was one of my better portraits that I took.

David Hockney Collages

The Cubist period occurred between the years of 1907 to 1914. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque were credited with this style. The aspects are flat two-dimensional surface of the picture plane leaving out traditional techniques of perspective. They were not also bound to copying form and texture.

David Hockney is a British painter, photographer, and designer. He has done painting of portraits, collages, and photography. I noticed that he used a lot of squares in his art and straight and jagged lines. He might have been influenced by artists before him such as Picasso.
