Assignment 7

David Hockney:



David Hockney was born on July 9, 1937, in Bradford, England.In 1953, Hockney enrolled in the College of Art and began painting with oils. Hockney learned that painting was a process of seeing and thinking, instead of imitation. His artwork was abstract and quite personal. In 1961 he traveled to New York City and paid for it by selling paintings. Early on in Hockney's career, his artwork was poetic and tended to tell stories. He even wrote poetic ramblings on many of his paintings as well. In New York, Hockney befriended Andy Warhol. In the nineties, Hockney continued to experiment with rising technologies. He used a color laser copier in some of his works and reproduced some of his paintings.

His goal was to produce images which where surreal and very unusual. He created his works by using the darkroom, which were extensive times, sometimes using three to ten enlargers to produce the effect he wanted.

Her work is exhibited in the United States and Europe and is represented within the permanent collections of several galleries and museums.[3] She is the fifth wife of American photographer, Jerry Uelsmann.

Assignment 4- Motion



My Friend On her Horse

For all the pictures with a sharp image I used the sports mode on my camera. With this mode it resulted in clear pictures, this is because there was a higher shutter speed.



My Sister on Merry Go Round.

The Merry Go Round picture is one of my favorite pictures because it shows motion really well. I like how the image is blurry which shows it is going really fast.
For the pictures with a blurred image I used a slow shutter speed to take the pictures. The blurrier the photos the lower the shutter speed I used.
