David Hockney was born in Bradford, England in 1937. He moved to L.A. in 1966 where he made some of his most famous works, including his swimming pool paintings. Hockney is an artist who composes pieces in photography, painting, set and costume design and opera/theater. These pictures emulate his style because Hockney is well known for taking multiple pictures of a subject and overlapping them to create a unique interpretation. This is what I did in these photos using my own creative style.
To make these pictures I went to the duck pond where I found things to photograph that showed a compositional rule. I then took twelve photos of each subject differing on the angles in each. Then I opened up a new 11 by 14 document in photoshop where I placed these photos. I overlapped and resized them until I reached a unique combination. I chose Time magazine because I really liked the style. I liked how they are not just a gossip magazine but have more genuine material and spoke about more important topics. To emulate their style I tried to get as close to their cover look as possible I got a black background and put their logo at the top.
The title of this piece is “succulent”. My photo of the succulent was taken at Rancho Buena Vista High School using a Nikon D5300 with a 18-140mm lens. The photo was printed using Epson Glossy Photo Paper on the Epson P800 Digital Printer. The photograph demonstrates the compositional rule of crop, as I used a very close up, cropped, picture of the succulent. My photo falls under Digital Painting and Illustration because I used photoshop to create a unique interpretation of my image.
I used Adobe Photoshop to create my circular mandala of the succulent. To create the Mandala I began by opening up a circular template into photoshop, as well as my photo of the succulent. I used the wand tool to highlight one area of the template, then I moved that over my picture. I copy and pasted the part of the picture I wanted to tessellate into that slice of the template. I moved that slice back into the template and then repeatedly duplicated and transformed the pictures to form the complete mandala. The title of this piece is “succulent”.

The poem that inspired this piece was Introduction to Songs of Innocence by William Blake. To make this photo i started by using the picture of the horses as the background. There were areas covered by the fence that I shot the photo through. To get rid of this I used the clone tool to cover and blend those spots away. Then I opened up the cloud picture and placed it near the bottom. I used the eraser tool and put it at 60% opacity and used it around the top so the clouds would fade away instead of looking like a stamp. Then I opened up the flower pictures and used the quick selection tool to select a part of the bush/flower. Then I put this on the bottom and cloned it across. Then I opened up the picture with the tree branches and used the quick selection to select just the branches. The I placed it on the top and used the blending tool to make it look how I wanted it.
