Alexis, Hobbies

Photography 
I have a very strong interest in photography. 
I take my camera everywhere I go.
You never know what you could see. 
Something interesting. 
Something scary. 
Something Amazing. 
Something no one has ever seen. 
You never know. 
One thing you do know is... 
you see through the lens differently than anyone else. 
That's what makes your images Unique.

David Hockney Collage


2. What scene were you trying to communicate? Were you successful? What three things did you learned as a result of doing this project?


  • I think overall we were pretty successful, It was rather difficult to arrange the sizes of the different images out on the poster board. I didn’t think that it would be as difficult as it was. I learned that you need a variety and pictures that would actually fit together better. Looking at the examples that were given, They made it look easy; It wasn’t that easy. Overall the poster board looks pretty decent, I would change it a little bit with how everything lines up, but that’s what makes it as unique as it is.

Creative Portraits

As I was taking these photos of my best friend, I decided to use the "Rule of thirds" I was feeling the breeze coming at my from behind which was making her hair flow away from her face making her look absolutely stunning.

This one I decided to use "Background Blurred" I focused on her face to make it very dramatic. I made her laugh by telling a joke and it ended up perfectly. The wind was behind her showing the effects that wind has in a picture, showing more of the scenery.

David Hockney

When did the Cubist Period occur? Who is credited with this style? What are aspects featured of the Cubist Artwork?
The Cubist period was the 20th century, Between the years 1907 and 1914. In paris Pablo Picasso and George Braque created the paintings. The Cubist style was basically from techniques of two dimensional, flat, rejecting the traditional techniques of perspective, foreshortening, modeling and more. Cubist painters were not bound to copying form, texture, colour, and space. They presented more of new paintings that radically fragmented objects, whose several sides were seen simultaneously.
Who is David Hockney? What kind of work does/has he done? What Cubist features do you notice in David Hockney's work? Where and how might he have been influenced by the cubist period?
David Hockney is still alive today and is a  British painter, draughtsman, printmaker, photographer, and designer. He became internationally successful in his mid- 20’s and has stayed known as the most well known British artist of his generation. His success isn’t just from his art and photographs, it’s from his personality that apparently people love. Most of his photographs were considered “Pop Art” In California 1960’s, he looked at his art differently, he looked at the sky, the sea, the sun, young men, and luxury increasing Naturalistic Dimension. Cubist's looked from different views. Hockney was most likely was influenced by the cubist period by all the people that were in California.
