Hockney Style Joiners

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post! So for the past two weeks, my class have been doing this project on photomontage. David Hockney is known very well for his photomontages. Me and David Hockney's work are totally different. Not only how it looks but also how we make it. 1 of the ways how our work is different is that I use a DSLR camera and i think he used like a polaroid camera. Another one is how we made it. He probably used the pictures from the polaroid camera glued them together. Me, I took the SD card out of the camera and imported the photos onto the schools computer. After that, I put it into photoshop and put them together. After I could just print it. And finally, his photomontages are more powerful then my photomontages. He could probably make a photo montage about world pollution more powerful than I ever could. And those were the differences of my photomontage and Hockney's photomontage.

Now I'm gonna be talking about how images can send a positive or negative message. Of course positive images send positive messages and negative images send negative messages, but I'm gonna be digging deeper than that. Images with any type of sexual content or nudity would be a negative image. It would send a negative message by making everybody grossed out. Not everyone in the world would like those type of images. An image of like service or something like that would send a positive message. If people saw that picture they would feel all happy. If the image was a puppy, it would definitely send a positive message. But if that puppy was being harassed by the owner, then it would send a negative message. And that's how images can send positive and negative messages.

The message I intend for my audience to see in my final is time. I chose my watch because it shows what time it is. My watch symbolizes me because I don't have enough time to do anything. Time is an important thing that everybody doesn't have enough of. So that's why I chose my watch because time is a problem that everybody has.
