Lense-Hockney

 Who is David Hockney? Some people don't believe his stories. Do you? Why?

David Hockney is an English painter, photographer and printmaker. Hockney's work was mostly portraits and self-portraits he would also sometimes make portraits of his friends and his living quarters. He also grew to like the new technology that was being used compared to others who didn't like how much technology was taking over in the modern era. I agree with what he said because he told us that there is many different ways of painting and there's many things that you could use to get what you want.


What was the secret knowledge? Does it change the way you look at painting? Why?

Secret knowledge was a book that David Hockney wrote that explained how he thought that artists in the 15th century many western artists used optics as a way to make living projections or three dimensional objects. Hockney also used it to mention a connection between painting and technology and how it could be used as a way to elevate the art scene. This doesn't change my view on painting because anytime I think of it I see many different ways of painting and how not everyone is going to think the same way some are going to mix ideas together in order to get something new.


What method did Hockney use to tell his story? What were the most effective? Why? 

He tried to make it sound like the person who was in the story was someone ahead of their time, creating paintings that shouldn't even be possible and the tools that he uses are something that painters would never think of using. I think that the most effective was when he made the painting "big splash" because people talk about how the painting was so modern and people weren't used to seeing that.

I am someone who likes to learn new things when given the chance too I enjoy the feeling of starting something new and getting to know it as time goes on I also like to use the knowledge that I gain from this to help others if they ever get stuck. I am also a visual learner I like to see the assignments being done in front of me ratter than just being told what to do I enjoy this more because I like to see how other people think on the same assignments that I am getting and what they are doing to get the answers and how they think.
