FramingRule of ThirdsDavid Hockney was born in Bradford, England in 1936. Hockney attended art school before loving to Los Angeles in 1960. There began painting his famous pool paintings. In 1970, he began photography and enjoyed making photo collages, which he called "joiners". He is still very active in the art community and was voted the most influential British artist of the 20th century. My artwork emulates his style in the way that I used multiple images to create a cohesive piece, even if the images don't lie up exactly to the original photo.
I created the collage by taking photos of one area with differing angles. I took an image of the whole picture, and then went from top left-top right, middle left-middle right, and finally bottom left-bottom right. I did this by knowing what compositional rule I wanted to do, and then found a subject that showed the rule (in this case I did framing and rule of thirds). I created the collage using photoshop. In Photoshop, I opened file-new and made sure the dimensions were 11x14 with a 300 resolution. Using the move tool, I dragged the image I wanted to add into the Photoshop icon. I cropped the image to make it smaller so I could create my collage. I repeated this step with all the images I used, changing the image sizes, in order to create my collage. Once I was happy with the way my images were positioned, I merged the layers and saved the file.
