Hockney Style Joiners

Hey guys it's Hailee. This weeks project was photomontages. I think David Hockney's photomontages are different from mine because, he would take his pictures on poloroids, while I take pictures on my iPhone 6 and Mr. Sanderl's camera. After a while, David Hockney switched to oil paints, then to acrylic paints.

Images can send a lot of emotions to people when they first see an image. Just like the quote, "A picture is worth a thousand words" you can feel either positive or negative emotions. For an example, whenever i see a photo with a lot of  light blue or purple, I find it very calming. If i see a picture with dark clouds or an image with gloomy colors such as gray, I feel a little sad or depressed.

For my final photomontage, I took a picture of my dog, Persephone. The reason why I picked her to be my main subject for our final photomontage is because we had to take 25 photos of something meaningful to you. Persephone is meaningful to me because she is my first pet. When people see my photomontage of Persephone, I want them to feel happy because, when I first got her, I was happy. Also, if you look closely at that photo, you can see that Persephone is smiling. I hope you guys liked this blog post. Bye!

         

2016 Aspirations

Hey guys it's Hailee and Happy New year! I have a feeling 2016 is going to be way better than 2015. To make sure 2016 will be a better year, I have made goals.  My top 5 goals for 2016 is to improve my drawing skills, to take nice artsy photos, to spend less money, to explore the world, and to be a better younger sister. So far, I have been doing great to meet my goals.

All of my goals are really important to me. But, if I had to choose the most important goal to me it would be improving my drawing skills. I personally think I can draw pretty good. I just want to get even better at drawing. The reason why this goal is really important to me because, ever since I was little, I  always loved drawing. So, I want to keep on drawing so I can improve.

In order to reach my goal, I came up with some with some steps to help me reach my goal. First, to start the new year, I bought a new sketch book to help inspire me to create new sketches. I also bought a bag to keep all my art supplies in it to so all of my supplies will be organized and easy to find. I also have been watching tutorials on Youtube. So these are my goals for 2016. I hope you liked this blog post and see you in my next post!
