David Hockney inspired photo montage exercise

Janice Fung, Grade 11, 2012

I’m interested in all kinds of pictures, however they are made, with cameras, with paint brushes, with computers, with anything. All of them are artifice - technology alters the way you make pictures.

David Hockney inspired photo montage exercise

The focus of your investigation will be based on David Hockney’s Joiner photo montages. You will investigate the parallels in the processes he employs in his image making to that of the Cubist artists and their approach to ‘seeing’.

You will also need to investigate the effect his work has had on other artists and on photography in general. You will need to document your written investigation with visual examples allowing you to illustrate your ideas and insights on the subject.

You should produce an investigative study of no less than six pages.

Compare and contrast the work of Hockney’s joiner photographs with contemporary realisations of this type of image making. You can also compare with what came before.

Investigate the processes, techniques and the ideology behind this kind of image making. Develop an understanding of the best way to use your camera, considering light and composition. Make a detailed analysis of the visual qualities of at least two artist’s work in your investigation workbooks.

When developing your ideas, consider the themes of portraiture, object and landscape. Consider the relevance of the items, people and places you use.Thoroughly explore your ideas through experimenting with composition through collage techniques in physical and digital formats. Make sure your written investigation has visual examples throughout allowing you to illustrate your insights and ideas.

Ensure you have used the correct terminology and specialist vocabulary particularly in relation to photography, composition and collage when writing as part of your research, investigation and experimentation.

Use a wide range of resources such as books, journals, periodicals, art galleries, internet sources as part of your research. All sources should be cited properly using the MLA format. Use Easybib to help you correctly cite sources.

Your ideas should be presented effectively and creatively. Thoughtful observation and discrimination, both written and visual, should be evident.

Record your studio work as it progresses, documenting processes and techniques encountered throughout your studio work. Always have a camera to hand to record your studio activity.
