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.

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.
