Assignment 9: Through the lens in an entirely new way…

David Hockney - a new perspective on seeing

You use your camera as your eye, documenting what you see in your mind.  Now I want you to use your camera to gain another perspective on your images.  Artist David Hockney is a painter and therefore may think of his camera as an extension of his brush.  Rather than just "point and shoot", Mr. Hockney focuses his lens and vision on his imagery as if it were a canvas he is painting in sections.

Your assignment:
1.  Research who David Hockney is.
2.  Tell me something about him as both a painter and a photographer in a paragraph or two you will be posting.
3.  Compose a photograph you will shoot using the same technique.  Use today to experiment with your camera and the assignment by shooting objects, scenes, and perhaps each other.
4.  Create your final piece in Photoshop, using the images you have taken.  Do not crop them but use in their entirety.
