Hockney Style Joiners

Paint Trolley, LA, 1985. Find the photo HERE

Hey everyone! This week in GT were are doing a photo montage similar to David Hockney's. The difference between my photo montage's and David Hockney is that his photo montages are more professional and creative, he can create roads with stop signs in the middle, cut up pictures of flowers, its amazing! Plus, he has the ability to turn something slightly boring, into something more exotic, such as people playing Scrabble or a plain bit apple.

My School Photomontage

Images have the ability to send both positive and negative messages, for example, a picture of a war will cause sadness. However, something like a family reunion is bound to create happiness somewhere. This is usually created with your recognition of what the photo contains. War is known as something dreadful and sad, this usually causes recognition when seeing it in a photo. Or something like kids playing, it can be remembered as a happy memory, in some terms, making you happy. Or, the photo can have phrases or sentences inside that can cause a emotion. Basically, its all in the creator's point of view, which can include messages such as "Wow! Look at my clothes, am I not rich?" Or it can send more detailed messages such as "This is how we can make the world better".

For my final photomontage, I really wish to show what I really enjoy doing in life, what wakes me up in the morning, (Other then being dragged out of bed.) My photomontage is a swim cap from Mokihana Aquatics. I really like swimming, it really pushes me to be the best I  can ever hope to be. In this photomontage, I placed the cap on the ground, then took several photos of it and of its surroundings, in which include the floor tiles, the fan, etc.
