Presentation Transcript

  1. Joiners http://www.hockneypictures.com/works.php

  2. David Hockney • born in England, 1937 (74 years old now) • one of the most influential artists of the 20thcentury • considered to be in the Pop Art movement, friends with Andy Warhol • interested in the full arts spectrum: painter, draftsman, photographer, film

  3. What are Joiners? • Photographic collages, Polaroid composites • Take pictures of one subject through different views, move around the room, a narrative, tells a story, alters the perspective • Appears like patchwork

  4. Hockney’sjoiners share traits with Cubism • Traits of cubism: objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form • The artist depicts the subject from several viewpoints. • The surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, no coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space. • Pablo Picasso was a leader in Cubism. Hockney - collage Cubism – painting

  5. Purely accidental • While working on a painting of a living room and terrace in Los Angeles, he took Polaroid shots of the living room and glued them together as a preparatory work, not intending for them to be a composition on their own. • Upon looking at the final composition, he realized it created a narrative, as if the viewer was moving through the room.

  6. Portraits too

  7. Grid with borders

  8. Notice how zoomed in each picture is. Some squares are only filled with floor.

  9. Your Joiners: • Choose a subject (if it’s outside of school you must use your own camera). • Take at least 30 pictures. Make sure to move around to change your view. Zoom in for details. • Import them onto your computer. • Use Photoshop to arrange them in an interesting way. Either overlapping or leaving a border.
